Judie

Judie is an English feminine name, a variant spelling of Judy, which itself developed as a pet form of Judith. Judith derives from the Hebrew name Yehudit, meaning "woman of Judea" or "Jewish woman," related to the Hebrew root referring to the tribe and region of Judah. The name gained wide recognition through the biblical figure Judith, the heroine of the deuterocanonical Book of Judith. Related forms include Judy, Judi, Judith, and the Hebrew Yehudit.
