Why did translators anglicize the name of one disciple named Judas but not the other one also named Judas?
The names are identical in the original and also in other modern languages. For example, in Spanish we have Judas Iscariota and San Judas Tadeo. There are some conspiracy theories about antisemitic translators trying to make Judas Iscariot seem more Jewish, although the disciples and Jesus were all Jewish. One complicating factor is that Judah, one of the 12 tribes of Israel, is also the same name as Jude and Judas. Judah in Spanish, for example, is also Judas.
