Jedah is Hebrew in Origin.

Jedah is a rare modern given name in English that likely draws on a cluster of Hebrew names. It can be read as a streamlined form of Jada or Jadah (a biblical masculine name from the root yada, “to know”), as a simplified Jedaiah (Yedayah, “Yahweh knows”), or as a clipped variant of Jedidiah/Jedediah, “beloved of Yahweh.” Collectively, these links give Jedah associations with knowledge, recognition, and divine favor.

Documented usage is sparse before the late twentieth century, and the name remains uncommon today, occasionally used as a unisex choice. Variants and related forms include Jadah, Jada, Jeda, Jedaiah, Jediah, Jedidiah, and Jedediah; Jed serves as a familiar nickname. Because of its spelling, Jedah is sometimes confused with Jeddah, the Saudi Arabian city, though the origins differ. For parents seeking a compact biblical-adjacent name with clear yet gentle strength, Jedah offers a distinctive alternative.
