覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
Judy は女性名 Judith の愛称形なので、「正式形 Judith → 親しみのある Judy」と組で覚えましょう。語源はヘブライ語で「ユダヤの女性」に関係しますが、英文では通常その意味を訳さず個人名として使います。語頭を大文字にし、Judy is ...、my sister Judy のように人を特定します。
Link Judy directly to Judith: Judy began as a familiar, affectionate short form of the longer female name. Think of the pattern Judith becoming Judy in the same way that formal names often develop everyday forms. Its deeper Hebrew history is connected with a word meaning a Jewish woman, but that meaning is not translated when Judy identifies a person. Always capitalize it as a proper name. Useful patterns include “Judy brought cookies,” “I spoke to Judy,” and “my sister Judy,” all referring to a particular woman.

judy の語源・成り立ち Etymology
ヘブライ語の女性名 Judith（ユディト）に由来。原義は「ユダヤの女」で、ヘブライ語 Yehudith（יהודית）から。旧約聖書外典『ユディト記』の勇敢なヒロインで広まった。関連語: Judith（正式形）、Judah（ユダ、同じ語根で「称賛」の意）。信仰と勇気を象徴する名前。
Judy developed in English as a familiar form of Judith. Judith comes through Greek and Latin forms from Hebrew Yehudit, a feminine name meaning “Jewish woman” or “woman of Judah.” The name became widely known through biblical tradition, including the story of Judith. Judy later became established not only as a nickname but also as an independent given name, while retaining its clear historical relationship to Judith.
