The word "Judaism" has its origins in the Latin term "Iudaismus," which itself is derived from the Greek "Ioudaismos." Both terms refer to the religious and cultural practices of the Jewish people, which trace back to the Kingdom of Judah (Yehudah in Hebrew), one of the two ancient kingdoms of the Hebrew people. The name "Judah" comes from the Hebrew word "Yehudah," which means "to give thanks" or "to praise."
The term began to be used in a more formal sense to describe the religion and culture of the Jewish people following the Babylonian Exile in the 6th century BCE, when distinct beliefs and practices became more codified. Over time, it came to encompass not just a set of religious beliefs but also a broader cultural and ethnic identity associated with the Jewish people.
