Jebediah Origin and Meaning
The name Jebediah is a boy's name of Hebrew origin meaning "beloved friend".
Like its better known cousin Jedidiah, Jebediah is one of those four-syllable Old Testament names that is being shorn of its long white-bearded image, with the help of its modern-sounding Jeb nickname.
Pop culture references: The Australian alternate rock band Jebediah, and the founder of the Simpson's hometown, Jebediah Springfield.
Jeb Bush, by the way, was not born Jebediah: J.E.B. are his initials, as in John Ellis Bush.
