Yechudit Origin and Meaning

The name Yechudit is a boy's name.

Yechudit appears to be a masculine variant of the traditionally feminine name Judith, which comes from Hebrew origins meaning 'woman from Judea' or 'praised.' The unusual spelling reflects a transliteration closer to the original Hebrew pronunciation (Yehudit). While listed as masculine here, Judith/Yehudit is historically a female name in Jewish tradition, featured prominently in the Bible as a heroic figure who saved her people. This specific spelling is quite rare in English-speaking countries but may be found in communities with strong Hebrew language connections. The name carries connotations of courage, wisdom, and cultural heritage.
