Judey Origin and Meaning

The name Judey is a girl's name.

Judey is a feminine name that functions as a diminutive or variant spelling of Judy, which itself is a pet form of Judith. The name Judith has Hebrew origins meaning 'woman from Judea' or 'praised.' Judey's alternative spelling with an 'e' gives it a slightly more whimsical, informal feel compared to the traditional Judy. Popular in the mid-20th century when Judy Garland was at the height of her fame, the Judey variant has remained relatively uncommon, giving it a vintage charm with a personalized touch. This spelling variation maintains the friendly, approachable quality associated with Judy while offering something slightly different.
