Jahdiel
Jahdiel Origin and Meaning
Jahdiel is a masculine name with Hebrew origins, found in the Bible where it appears in 1 Chronicles 5:24 as a chief of the half-tribe of Manasseh. The name combines 'Jah' (a shortened form of Yahweh, referring to God) with 'diel,' creating a meaning of 'God will make joyful' or 'God will witness.' Though relatively uncommon in mainstream usage, Jahdiel has maintained steady popularity within religious communities that value biblical names. It carries spiritual significance while offering the friendly nickname options 'Jah' or 'Diel.' The name's distinctive sound and meaningful etymology make it attractive to parents seeking a name with religious heritage and uniqueness. Its usage has gradually increased in recent decades as parents explore lesser-known biblical names.
