Zebadiah
Meaning of Zebadiah
Zebadiah is a distinctive and historical name of Hebrew origin, meaning "gift of God." Pronounced zuh-BAY-dee-uh, this name carries a strong biblical association, as Zebadiah appears in the Old Testament as the name of several minor characters. The name's variations include Zebadaya, which offers a slightly different yet equally unique twist. Despite its rich heritage, Zebadiah remains relatively uncommon in the United States. According to data from recent years, it has consistently ranked outside the top 4000 names for newborn boys, with occasional peaks such as in 2001 when it reached rank 2117 with 49 occurrences. This rarity makes Zebadiah an excellent choice for parents seeking a meaningful and uncommon name for their baby boy.
