Best Answer

Jews have been called by several names throughout History. The words for Jew* came in this order:

  1. Hebrew
  2. Israelite
  3. Jew*

*I'm using the modern definition of Jew as someone who practices Judaism, and not the classical definition which is someone who is descended from the tribe of Judah.
