Usage: The name Yehudith means "Jewess" or "woman of Judah." It is used as a proper name in the Hebrew Bible, specifically referring to a woman who is associated with the tribe or region of Judah.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, names often carried significant meaning and were sometimes indicative of one's heritage or tribal affiliation.
