Good meaning, nothing against it in the sources
English short form of Judas, taken to tell the apostle Jude (Judas Thaddaeus), patron saint of lost causes in the Catholic Church, from Judas Iscariot. As the name of a Christian apostle and saint it is counted as a name of another religion. No source read rules on the name; a scholar's call.
