Zebidah Origin and Meaning

The name Zebidah is a girl's name meaning "to give".

A rare name from the Old Testament, Zebidah appears in the Bible as the wife of King Josiah and the mother of Jehoiakim. While it has yet to see widespread use, Zebidah combines a number of current trends: a spiky letter Z, a lesser known Biblical option, and boyish-nicknames-for-girls, including Zeb, Zebbie, Zippy, Ziggy and Zed — though Zadie and Zia could be others.

The name might also be spelled as Zebudah and is most commonly — though still quietly — used in Israel.
