Zedekiah

Meaning of Zedekiah

Zedekiah (zeh-dee-KY-uh) has a warm Hebrew heart, meaning “the Lord is just,” and carries the ancient tale of Judah’s last king who held on to hope against the odds. It has a timeless, biblical resonance yet dances off the tongue like a cheerful sitar riff in a bustling Indian courtyard. Though rare in the US—with just 29 newborns named Zedekiah in 2024—it feels like a hidden gem waiting to sparkle. Parents drawn to it love the blend of strength and compassion, picturing their little one growing into a fair-minded leader. Each syllable carries a promise of justice, shining as bright as a monsoon sunrise over the Ganges. Plus, it’s long enough for fun nicknames like Zee or Zeke. For families seeking a name rich in history, melody, and heartfelt inspiration, Zedekiah offers a story and a spark all its own.
