Judith
The presently highly popular name Judith occurs only once in the Bible. The original Judith is the Hittite wife of Esau. This is peculiar because the name Judith is the feminine form of the masculine name Judah. It may very well be that the origin of the name Judah was inspired by the name of his aunt Judith, and not vice versa. |
