Latin diminutive of Judith or variation of Judah, Hebrew

Jude Origin and Meaning

The name Jude is a girl's name of Hebrew, Latin origin meaning "praised".

Jude may be a popular boys' name, thanks to Jude Law, but boyish nicknames for girls - like Frankie and Teddy - are on trend and Jude is also a new way to spin Judy or Judith. It's long been used quietly for girls as well as boys, and may start to pick up steam.

Alexis Stewart, daughter of Martha, named her daughter Jude and Jessica Lange plays Sister Jude on American Horror Story.
