Members of the Jewish people, an ethnoreligious group originating from the ancient Hebrews of the Middle East.
From Old French 'juiu,' from Latin 'Iudaeus,' from Greek 'Ioudaios,' ultimately from Hebrew 'Yehudi' meaning 'of Judah.' The term evolved from referring to inhabitants of Judah to the broader ethnic and religious identity.
The Jewish people represent one of the world's oldest continuous cultural traditions, maintaining distinct identity through nearly 2,000 years of diaspora. Jewish contributions to philosophy, science, and arts have been disproportionately significant relative to population size throughout history.
