woman of Judea or praised (Hebrew)

Judith is a classic Hebrew and biblical name derived from Yehudit. In the Philippines, it is a well-established traditional Christian name, popularized through both religious texts (the Book of Judith) and English-language education during the 20th century.

Derived from the Hebrew name Yehudit, meaning 'woman of Judea' or 'praised'. It entered the Philippines primarily through Christian biblical tradition and was reinforced during the American period through English naming conventions.
