If you look in a standard Bible you will not find any book named after one of the tribes of Israel. However, the gospel of Matthew comes closest. In Biblical times, people were often known by two or more names eg Jacob/Israel, Saul/Paul, Pater/Simon and, of course, Jesus/Emmanuel. The other name given to Matthew was Levi. Levi was also the name given to the tribe that did not have land apportioned to it, but instead had the responsibility of providing priests and temple servants, an office that they held for millennia.
