The answer to this is both Yes and No. Herod's father was an Idumean and his mother was a Nabatean Arab. Herod was king of Judea because he conquered Judea by force, leading a Roman army. So, Herod was not ethnically a Jew and the Jews had every reason to resent his rule. On the other hand, he was nominally a follower of the Jewish religion, because the Judeans, in Maccabean times, had conquered Idumea and forcibly converted the Idumeans to Judaism. It is reported that, when in Jerusalem, Herod publicly followed Judaism, but when in Caesarea he followed the pagan religion of his Roman patrons.
Herod's sons, particularly Antipas, were also at times known as 'Herod', but each only ruled a small part of Herod's original kingdom. Because of his military conquests and to avoid confusion, the elder King Herod is known as King Herod the Great.
