In English, the word for "yahudi" is "Jew"). The term Jew originates from the Biblical Hebrew word Yehudi, which means "from the Kingdom of Judah"). The word passed into Greek as Ioudaios and Latin as Iudaeus, which evolved into the Old French giu after the letter "d" was dropped. A variety of related forms are found in early English from about the year 1000, including Iudea, Gyu, Giu, Iuu, Iuw, and Iew, which eventually developed into the modern word).
