Yehudi

Yehudi is a male given name of Hebrew origin. It means "Jew" or "Jewish" and is derived from the Hebrew word Yehuda (Judah). In biblical and modern Hebrew, Yehudi is used to refer to a person from the Tribe of Judah or to a Jew in general; the feminine form is Yehudit, derived from the same root.

In modern times, Yehudi is used mainly as a given name among Jewish communities and in Israel. It is sometimes adopted by non-Jews as well. It is not commonly used as a surname.

Notable people named Yehudi include Yehudi Menuhin, a British-born violinist and conductor, and Yehudi Wyner, an American composer and pianist. The name also appears in Jewish cultural and historical contexts as an identifier for members of the Jewish people or for something relating to Judaism or Judea.
