What ancient Roman emperor renamed Judea to Syria Palestine?

Yes, Hadrian renamed Judea "Syria Palaestina." He did so after he suppressed the Bar Kokhba revolt (132-136) as a damnatio memoriae; that is, he wanted to erase the memory of the name Judea. He used Syria as part of the new name because Judea was a satellite province of the province of Syria. Palaestina was an Latin adaptation of the Greek word Palaistíne, which meant Philistia (land of the Philistines) and the surrounding region.

Judea was annexed to the Roman Empire in 10 AD by Augustus.
