Yes, the land Judea (Iudaea) was named after the Judahites. The Judahites had explicitly absorbed Levi and Benjamin, and implicitly absorbed some other tribes like Asher and Simeon. The "lost tribes", if they continued to exist, migrated from Assyria and might be anywhere. So the Judahites continue the Israelite polity today because the lost tribes didn't knowingly do so.
If you wish to say the lost tribes mostly informed the whites, that theory is pretty good for this forum. That's not relevant to my point.
Since Jesus was Ioudaios and Judahite, he was one with the people who eventually got called Ju. There is no other people in the land after the 7th century BC that "fought for power" from within the same collective; the Samaritans were from another race. Only the kingdom of Judah reconstituted around 620 BC continued the name of Judahite, and only they (with those who were born or naturalized to them) contribute to today's Jewish people.
Of course there are other Israelites, Hebrews, and Semites out there, but we don't get to contradict the Bible saying that Jesus was Ioudaios, and we don't get to contradict history saying Ioudaios became Jew.
