Gideon was a judge. His real name was Jerubbaal.
The author of the Book of Judges would not write the story of the hero who had been chosen by Yahweh (God) to drive out the Midianite menace when his name, which means 'may Baal contend', says that he was a follower of Baal. Hence, the author devised the name Gideon ('hewer'), which clearly refers to him cutting down the grove of asherahs, to use only in Judges 6-8 and nowhere else in The Bible. Elsewhere, his birth name, Jerubbaal, was used.
