What were Jews called before the letter J was invented?

Answer 1

In Ancient or Koine Greek they were called 'Ibrazi. The exclamation point stands for what we call the "H" sound.

Answer 2

In Ancient Egypt the term was Ibaru, presumably derived from something close to the modern Hebrew.  In general most languages had something close to yehudin, with the Y eventually becoming a J--which in most languages other than English has a Y or voiced H sound.

Answer 3

The English word Jew derives via the Anglo-French "Iuw" from the Old French forms "Giu" and "Juieu", which had elided (dropped) the letter "d" from the Medieval Latin form Iudaeus, which, like the Greek Ioudaioi it derives from, meant both Jews and Judeans / "of Judea".
