Obadia Origin and Meaning

The name Obadia is a boy's name.

Obadia is a variant of the biblical name Obadiah, derived from Hebrew origin meaning "servant of God" or "worshipper of Yahweh." In the Old Testament, Obadiah was a prophet whose writings form a book of the Bible, as well as the name of several other figures. This alternate spelling gives the traditional name a slightly more accessible, modern feel while preserving its rich religious heritage. Though never widely common, Obadia has maintained consistent, if modest, usage particularly in religious communities. The name carries strong spiritual connotations and projects qualities of devotion, faith, and moral character. Its distinctive sound and spelling make it stand out, while its biblical roots provide it with historical depth and significance.
