Judith (given name)

Judith is a feminine given name derived from the Hebrew name יְהוּדִית or "Yehudit", meaning "woman of Judea". Judith appeared in the Old Testament as one of Esau's wives, while the deuterocanonical Book of Judith deals with a different Judith. It is in common usage in English, French, German, many Scandinavian languages, Dutch, and Hebrew. In Eritrea it is called Yodit. 
The name was among the top 50 most popular given names for girls born in the United States between 1936–1956, but its popularity has since declined. It was the 893rd most popular name for baby girls born in the United States in 2012, down from 74th in 1960.
