Jude

Patron of hopelessness

Jude is a given name, typically masculine, familiar from the New Testament epistle and the Beatles song "Hey Jude." It shares origins with Judas but escaped that name's association with betrayal.

The name has seen renewed popularity since the late twentieth century.

Saint Jude is the patron saint of lost causes.
