Jebadieh Origin and Meaning

The name Jebadieh is a boy's name.

Jebadieh appears to be a rare masculine name variation of Jebediah, which itself is an anglicized form of the Hebrew name Jedidiah, meaning 'beloved of Yahweh' or 'friend of God.' This uncommon spelling variant has little documented historical usage, making it extremely rare in naming records. The name carries biblical and religious connotations through its connection to Jedidiah, a name given to Solomon in the Old Testament. Jebadieh maintains the rustic, traditional quality associated with Jebediah, which gained cultural familiarity through fictional characters and historical Puritan naming patterns. Parents might choose this variant for its distinctive spelling while preserving connections to religious heritage. The name projects an old-fashioned, solemn character with spiritual undertones.
