The word 'Jew' never existed during Roman times. Rome referred to the region in the Latin as 'Iudaea' (Engl.: 'Judea') and those living there Judeans. The word 'Jew' does not derive from the Latin word Judean or Judah. And it has been intermingled with the words 'Israelite', 'Judahite', 'Judean', 'pharisee', and 'Edomite' for over 400 years.
Much later the word Jew comes into existence in England in circa 1600s, which coincides with a wave of Yiddish immigrants coming from France and Deutschland. These Yiddish settlers came from eastern Europe and originated from Khazaria, not the Middle East, but rather the steppes of Caspian and Black Seas, which had since fallen to the proxy Byzantine and Caliphate conquering armies. The French and Europeans viewed these immigrants negatively and treated them similarly to gypsies. They allowed them to quarter in only a designated area of the city. A French derogatory term for 'ghetto' and the Yiddish district of town was called – 'Jeuerie'; "ghetto", from Anglo-French 'Juerie', Old French 'Juierie’ or the later English version 'Jewry'. Originally the English term 'Jewry' referred to those immigrants coming from Eastern European people who spoke Yiddish (Ashkenazi). Word manipulation and name-stealing has a long history. It's no different here.
Do you believe the Bible?
Which Bible? Bibles based on Masoretic text or the Septuagint? How odd it is that you ask this question after I provided etymology on biblical terms? Do you not agree that words change meaning in time? That there is an on-going war on words? Word manipulation and name-stealing has a long history, God calls us to know His Word. Etymology is very important. This is actually part of the tests of historiography, which is used for all books of antiquity and judged for their authenticity. There are a total of three tests, (1) Bibliography test, (2) Internal Evidence test, and (3) External Evidence test.
