Judah (Yehuda)
יְהוּדָה
According to the Biblical explanation, the name יהודה (Judah) is related to the verb להודות (lehodot, "to thank").
Judah was the fourth son of Jacob and Leah; the tribe of Judah is called after his name, as do the kingdom of Judah and its land.
"And she conceived again and bare a son, and she said, Now will I praise the Lord, therefore she called his name Judah, and left bearing." Genesis 29, 35
