In Natter:
Nilly:
Ruth (the one who was the daughter-in-law of Naomi, and followed her back from Moav, and married Boaz) was a great-great-grandmother of David, so an ancestor of him, as well. And I guess it can be tracked down pretty much until the sons of Jacob (the tribe of Yehuda, or, well, Judas), and therefore all the way back to Noah or even to Adam and Eve.
Wolfram:
the tribe of Yehuda, or, well, Judas...
I think it's Judah, not Judas.
Nilly:
Then why is the guy who betrayed Jesus, who has the same name (Yehuda), called Judas?
Wolfram:
I don't know. Maybe that's the Greek version?
Trudy Booth:
Then why is the guy who betrayed Jesus, who has the same name (Yehuda), called Judas?
Because those people only had three or four names between them and we had to distinguish them somehow?
Seriously. Mary? c'mon...
amych:
Ah. So it's like Hec and Knut.
Nilly:

Actually, that makes sense. They liked the whole "let's add 's' to end of names", IIRC.

Like Angelus.
DX Machina:
So his full name was Judas the Difficult?
Nilly:
Like Angelus.
