Yudin/Judin (male) and Yudina/Judina (female) (Russian: Юдин, Юдина) are Russian surnames derived from the name Yuda, a Russified version of the former calendar name Jude (given after Jude the Apostle), no longer in use.[1] In Belarus and Western Ukraine the origin might be the Catholic name Judith. Also adopted by Jews following the Partitions of Poland, in reference to a village name Yudino or meaning "the son/daughter of Jude".[2]
