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.
What kingdom was renamed as Judea?
No kingdom was renamed Judea. When the United Kingdom of Israel divided in two, the Northern Kingdom retained the name Israel while the Southern Kingdom took on the name Judah since it primarily controlled the lands assigned to the tribe of Judah. Judea was the Roman term for the area once controlled by the Southern Kingdom of Judah.
