Etymology

1. Inherited from Old Norse júði (“Jew”), reshaped after Middle Low German jode (“Jew”) (also jude (“Jew”)). Both forms ultimately derive from Latin iūdaeus (“Jew; Jewish”), from Ancient Greek Ἰουδαῖος (Ioudaîos, “Judaean; Jew”), ultimately from Biblical Hebrew יְהוּדָה (Yəhūḏā, “Judah”). The underlying ethnonym originally referred to a member of the tribe of Judah and was later extended to the Jewish people.
2. Compare Norwegian Nynorsk jøde, Danish jøde, Swedish jude, German Jude and English Jew. See: Old Norse Nouns 'júði', Old Norse Nouns 'júði', Latin Nouns 'iūdaeus', Ancient Greek Nouns 'Ἰουδαῖος', Norwegian Nynorsk Nouns 'jøde', Danish Nouns 'jøde', Swedish Nouns 'jude', German Nouns 'Jude', English Nouns 'Jew'.
