@Stahesh @shortstories Judas is the Greek form of Judah. Judah was one of the most common Jewish names at the time and yes, Iscariot was a Jewish character, as were all the apostles and Jesus himself.

Name and background
Judas Iscariot (between 1886 and 1894) by James Tissot
The name "Judas" (Ὶούδας) is a Greek rendering of the Hebrew name Judah (יהודה, Yehûdâh, Hebrew for "praise or praised"), which was an extremely common name for Jewish men during the first century AD, due to the renowned hero Judas Maccabeus. Consequently, numerous other figures with this name are mentioned throughout the New Testament
