Borrowed from Italian Giudecca, from giudecca (“Jewish ghetto”), from Medieval Latin iudeca, from Latin iūdaica, feminine form of iūdaicus (“Judaic, Jewish”), ultimately from Hebrew יְהוּדָה (y'hudá, “Judah”). Doublet of Judaica and Judecca. Despite the name, there is no evidence of any ancient Jewish settlements on the island.
