Did you know?
- In Russian, the name Иуда is so strongly associated with betrayal that people rarely use it as a first name, unlike the English name 'Jude'.
- In a Russian Orthodox context, the name is often rendered as Иуда (Iuda) instead of the phonetic Джуд, even though they refer to the same biblical figure.
- While Джуд is used for the biblical name, a Russian speaker referring to the Jewish people would never use this word, as it sounds like a foreign name rather than the ethnonym 'zhid' or the standard 'yevrey'.
