Zedekias

zehd-uh-KIE-us; zehd-uh-KEE-as

Variation of Zedekiah, Hebrew

"Yahweh is righteous; Yahweh is just"

Zedekias Origin and Meaning

The name Zedekias is a boy's name meaning "Yahweh is righteous; Yahweh is just".

A rare variation of the Biblical Zedekiah, this form is occasionally used in Brazil. Derived from the Hebrew elements tseḏeq and yah meaning "justice, righteous" and "god" respectively, the more familiar Zedekiah appears in the Old Testament as the last King of Judah. With usable nicknames Zed, Zeke, and Kai and similar sounds to Elias and Silas, Zedekias may appeal to those looking for a Biblical choice hardly anyone else is using.
