Jediah is a unique, masculine name for baby. This given name is thought to spring from Hebrew roots and signifies "Jehovah knows" or “praise of Yahweh.” This meaning points to a guiding figure who knows what is best and may resonate with a parent who always has baby's wellbeing in mind. Jehovah was the God of Israel in the Hebrew Bible, which may make Jediah an even more appealing choice for those who are religious. Jediah can be shortened to Jed for a fresh and modern take.
