US Popularity:266
Origin:British
Other Origin(s):Hebrew
Meaning:Praised; From the tribe of Judah
Though undoubtedly popularized by the iconic The Beatles song, Jude has a lot to offer as a gender-neutral moniker. The English form of the Hebrew title Judah, Jude translates to "praised," reminding your child of the importance of giving thanks for their loved ones, their faith, and the joy they find in the simplest things. The feminine name Judith can also be shortened to Jude, bringing the definition "from the tribe of Judah" or "Jewish woman" with it. If you choose this moniker for your little one, "Hey Jude" won't just be a catchy lyric to sing, but a phrase you'll say every day. There's one particular chorus that might just stick in your mind, though, especially if The Bump user weddingpuffgrl's comment resonates, "Jude makes me want to sing 'na na na na' over and over again."
