Gederah is Hebrew in Origin.
From the Hebrew geder ("wall, fence"), Gederah (often pronounced geh-deh-RAH) means "enclosure," "boundary," or "sheepfold." The -ah ending lends a feminine feel, though the root is gender-neutral. The name is best known from the Hebrew Bible as a town in the lowlands of Judah, giving it the flavor of ancient place names repurposed as given names.
Usage as a personal name is rare in both Jewish and Christian traditions, but it appeals to parents seeking a distinctive biblical choice with imagery of protection and belonging. Common transliterations include Gedera and Gdera; related or cognate forms include Gederoth/Gederothaim (plural), and the root-sharing Gedor. Variant spellings may drop the final h in English. Comparable modern Hebrew place-name influence comes from the Israeli town Gedera, founded in the 19th century, which reinforces recognition of the form.
Gederah turns up in none of the birth registries or name datasets we cover. Most often that means a rare name, a regional or heritage one, or a recent coinage. Either way, it remains a genuinely rare choice.
