What is the meaning of the name Jededia ?

The baby name Jededia is a Male name , 4 syllables long and is pronounced /ˌdʒɛdəˈdiə/ (JEH-də-DEE-ə).

Jededia is Hebrew in Origin.

Jededia is a streamlined English variant of Jedidiah/Jedediah, from Hebrew Yedidyah, meaning “beloved of Yahweh” or “beloved of the Lord.” In the Hebrew Bible the name is bestowed on Solomon by the prophet Nathan (2 Samuel 12:25). The -iah ending encodes the divine element Yah; dropping it yields Jededia as a phonetic simplification, sometimes perceived as a softer or feminine form.

Sporadically recorded in 18th–19th‑century English and American usage, Jededia remains rare today but carries the approachable nickname Jed. Related forms include Jedidiah, Jedediah, Jedidias (Portuguese), Jedidías (Spanish), Yedidya/Yedidyah (Hebrew), and Yedidia (Modern Hebrew). Short forms: Jed, Diah, Dea. The meaning centers on belovedness and divine favor, lending a gentle devotional tone while the simplified ending gives it a lighter, contemporary sound.
