Jebydya is in Origin.

Jebydya is a modern creative respelling of Jebediah/Jedediah, ultimately from Hebrew Yedidyah (Yedidiah), the epithet bestowed on King Solomon meaning "beloved of Yah(weh)" or "friend of God." The y-heavy form likely blends the nickname Jeb with the biblical -dyah ending, while preserving the original sense. It would typically be pronounced like Jebediah (JEB-ih-dye-uh).

In English, Jedediah gained favor among Puritans and in early America, then lingered at low levels through the 19th century before a modest modern revival. Pop-cultural nods - such as Jebediah Springfield - keep the variant visible. Related forms include Jedediah, Jedidiah, Jebediah/Jebidiah, and Hebrew Yedidya/Yedidyah; nicknames Jed and Jeb are common. Documentation for Jebydya itself is scarce, but as a distinctive twist on a venerable Old Testament name it carries the same devotional meaning.
