Meaning & History
Jedidah is a feminine given name appearing in the Hebrew Bible, derived from the Hebrew element yaḏiḏ (יָדִיד) meaning "beloved, friend." In the Old Testament (2 Kings 22:1), Jedidah is identified as the wife of King Amon of Judah and the mother of the righteous King Josiah. The name therefore carries connotations of endearment and close relationship, fitting for a queen consort and mother of a reforming monarch.
