Strong's Lexicon Yedideyah: Jedidiah Original Word: יְדִידְיָה Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root יָדִיד (yadid), meaning "beloved," and יָהּ (Yah), a shortened form of Yahweh, the name of God. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Yedideyah in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a Hebrew proper name. However, the concept of being "beloved" is captured in Greek by the word ἀγαπητός (agapetos), Strong's Greek 27. Usage: The name Yedideyah means "beloved of the LORD" or "friend of Yahweh." It is a theophoric name, incorporating the divine name Yahweh, indicating a special relationship or favor from God. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, names were often given to reflect circumstances of birth, prophetic insights, or divine favor. The name Yedideyah was given by the prophet Nathan to Solomon, the son of King David and Bathsheba, signifying God's love and favor towards the child despite the complex circumstances surrounding his birth.
