Judas' betrayal

SUMMARY: The name Judas has become unpopular due to its association with Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Jesus for thirty pieces of silver. Judas's greatest betrayal was the one he did to his own soul. He lived with the Son of God for three years but did not understand anything. He later hanged himself and denied salvation. However, many people today follow in his path, thinking there is no hope for them. But God always forgives those who seek Him with a repentant heart.

Would anyone dare to name a son of his Judas? In recent times in our country many like to invent new names for their sons and daughters and make combinations looking for originality. Parents do not want to give their descendants common names. Nobody calls a daughter María or Marta or José or Humberto a boy. Everyone wants original names.

So it has become fashionable to put the father's or mother's name backwards, or to make combinations of both, or to adapt a foreign name. The result is that there are many children out there that probably when they are adults will run to change their names. That is why I think the name of Judas can be striking. Nobody else has it in the world. It's short and means "praise of God." But who would dare to use it?
