Judah was renamed to Judaea after the Roman conquest of the region in 6 CE when it became a Roman province. The name "Judaea" was derived from the ancient kingdom of Judah and was used to designate the broader area that included the former territory of Judah. The renaming reflected the Roman administrative changes and the integration of the region into the Roman Empire.
