Rashi in Bereishis 35,2 says that her real name (presumably her father called her) was Oholivomo but the Torah calls her Yehudis because she denied Idol worship and believed in One G-d. Eisav knew his father appreciated this so he married her using her as cover for his bad behavior:
אהליבמה. הִיא יְהוּדִית, וְהוּא כִנָּה שְׁמָהּ יְהוּדִית לוֹמַר שֶׁהִיא כּוֹפֶרֶת בַּעֲ"זָ כְּדֵי לְהַטְעוֹת אֶת אָבִיו:

1. I thought Oholovomo is for her idolatry (see robev's link in comments)? 2. Yehudis after whom, probably should be called Abrahamit?

This answer could be improved by citing Megillah 13a, that whoever denies idolatry is called a Yehudi(s).
