Praised
Judd is a medieval diminutive of Jordan, which is derived from the Hebrew name Yarden. It originally referred to the Jordan River, where Jesus was baptized, and signifies flowing down or descending. In a modern context, it is often associated with the meaning 'praised' through its connection to Judah.
