What is the meaning of the name Iddo ?

The baby name Iddo is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced ID-oh (IPA: /ˈɪdoʊ/; Hebrew approx. 'id-do).

Iddo is Hebrew in Origin.

Iddo is a masculine Hebrew name (עִדּוֹ), typically pronounced EE-doh. It is linked to the root ‘ed (עד), meaning “witness,” yielding the sense “his witness,” and is also associated by some scholars with the verb ya‘ad (יעד), “to appoint,” giving readings like “timely” or “at the appointed time.” These layered meanings convey themes of testimony, reliability, and providential timing.

The name appears several times in the Hebrew Bible: Iddo the seer and chronicler in the era of Judah’s early kings (2 Chronicles), an ancestor of the prophet Zechariah (often “son of Iddo” by reckoning), and a leader at Casiphia who helped Ezra secure Levites (Ezra 8). In transmission, Greek and Latin sources render it Addo (Ἀδδώ), and English Bibles use Iddo. The streamlined modern Israeli form Ido is widespread today; other variants include Iddō in scholarly transliteration.
