Thayer's Greek Lexicon
Ιουδα (see Ἰούδας, at the beginning and 1), indeclinable, Judah, a proper name; in the Sept.:
1. the fourth son of the patriarch Jacob;
2. the tribe that sprang from him.
3. the region which this tribe occupied (cf. Winer’s Grammar, 114 (108)); so in the N. T. in Mat 2:6 (twice); πόλις Ιουδα (Jdg 17:8), a city of the tribe of Judah, Luk 1:39, where it is a matter of dispute what city is meant; the most probable conjecture seems to be that Hebron is referred to — a city assigned to the priests, situated ’in the hill country’ (Χεβρων ἐν τῷ ὄρει Ιουδα, Jos 21:11), the native place of John the Baptist according to Jewish tradition. (Cf. B. D. American edition under the word Juda, a City of.)
