Judah was the fourth son of Jacob (Israel) by Leah. He became the leader amongst the sons. The tribe of Judah is named after him, and many of the modern Jews are descended from him.
Matt 1:2,3 lists Judah as an ancestor of the Messiah.
The meaning of the name Judah is "thankful". Judah's mother Leyah said the word upon Judah's birth. The exact phrase was "This time I will thank the Lord," and named her son Judah. It comes from the word "Todah" which is "thank you". Interestingly enough, the word "Hod" in Hebrew means majesty, which is a similar root to the Hebrew "Yehuda" or Judah, and the royal line also passes through the tribe of Judah. What came first is a bigger question, "hod" or "yehuda".

AnswerYes. Biblical tradition says that Judah was formed as a nation separate from Israel late in the tenth century BCE. In fact, Judah and Israel were probably always separate, and thus the sate of Judah may be somewhat older than the Bible tells. It continued, mainly under foreign domination, until the sixth century BCE, when Babylon overrran Judah and destroyed its capital, Jerusalem. Later, the Jews were allowed to return to Judah, which had come under Persian rule.During Roman times, the name was changed to Judea.
