a masculine given name; also refers to the apostle Saint Jude or the biblical book of Jude
from Hebrew 'Yehudah' (praised), through Greek 'Ioudas' and Latin 'Judas', shortened form to distinguish from Judas Iscariot
Thanks to the Beatles' song 'Hey Jude,' this name became synonymous with comfort and encouragement - 'na na na nanananana' is basically a lullaby for an entire generation. Saint Jude is the patron saint of lost causes, which feels very relatable!
