That is the result of Anglicisation of non-English words which happens to most languages to make it easier for English speakers to say the word. The Hebrew word for Jew is 'Yehudi'.

Hebrew examples are:

Yisrael = Israel

Yerushalayim = Jerusalem

D'vorah = Deborah or Debra

Other examples:

Danmark = Denmark

München = Munich

Bucureşti = Bucharest

Ó Súilleabháin = O'Sullivan
