Zebadiah Name Meaning and Origin
Zebadiah is of Hebrew origin and is traditionally masculine. It means “Yahweh has bestowed” or “God has given,” derived from the Hebrew elements “zebed”, meaning “gift” or “donation,” and “Yah” (a shortened form of Yahweh), referring to God. Zebadiah was used in the Bible, appearing in the Old Testament as the name of several individuals. The name carries a strong religious significance, symbolizing the belief that a child is a gift from God. While rare today, it has a classical, historical appeal due to its biblical roots.
