History & Origin

Jedd is a double-d spelling of Jed — a short form of Jedidiah, from Hebrew, 'beloved of the Lord; friend of God' (a name God gave to Solomon). A crisp, rugged, all-American name (The Beverly Hillbillies' Jed Clampett); the -dd styling personalizes it.

It registers thinly beside Jed. Rare, beloved-of-the-Lord at the root, and rugged.

Did you know? Jedidiah means 'beloved of the Lord; friend of God' in Hebrew (a name given to King Solomon) — Jed is its short form, and Jedd adds a double d; crisp and rugged.
