Ἰσκαριώτης

Etymology
Of disputed origin, but is the most traditional derivation. Nonetheless, this interpretation of the name is not fully accepted by all scholars. One of the most popular alternative explanations holds that Iscariot (, 'Skaryota' in Syriac Aramaic, per the Peshitta text) may be a corruption of the Latin word, meaning "dagger man", which referred to a member of the Sicarii (Aramaic , from ), a group of Jewish rebels who were known for committing acts of terrorism in the 40s and 50s CE by assassinating people in crowds using long knives hidden under their cloaks.
