Jehoaddin is Hebrew in Origin.
Jehoaddin is a rare feminine Hebrew name (Hebrew: Yeho‘addan, יְהוֹעַדָּן) built from the theophoric prefix Yeho- - invoking the divine name YHWH - and the root ‘dn, “delight/pleasure” (cf. Eden). It is typically glossed as “YHWH delights,” “delight of the LORD,” or “the LORD gives pleasure,” conveying favor and cherished standing.
The name occurs in the Hebrew Bible as the mother of King Amaziah of Judah and wife of King Joash, identified as “of Jerusalem” (2 Kings 14:2; 2 Chronicles 25:1). It never became common beyond scriptural mention and remains extremely uncommon in Jewish and Christian naming today, though it appears in scholarly and liturgical contexts. Principal variants and transliterations include Jehoaddan (the most widespread English Bible form), Jehoaddin (alternative English), Yeho‘addan (scholarly), Yehoadan (modern Israeli transcription), and occasionally the contracted Joaddan, following the common Yeho-/Jo- alternation in Hebrew theophoric names.
Jehoaddin does not appear in any of the birth registries or name datasets we track. This usually means it's either extremely rare, a regional/traditional name not captured by official statistics, or a brand-new coinage. Use it knowing your child will almost certainly be the only one in the room.
