Meaning & origin
Jahdiel is a rare biblical name that first entered U.S. birth records in 1995. With a rank of 4,249 in 2025, it remains an uncommon choice, given to roughly 1 in 71,170 newborn boys that year. Its peak popularity came in 2021, but since then its usage has declined. The name is most often found in California. As a variant of names like Jahdai or Jediah, it appeals to parents seeking a distinctive name with biblical echoes without being widely used.
Jahdiel appears in some biblical genealogies as a name of Hebrew origin, though its exact meaning is uncertain. It is rarely used historically and has seen occasional modern use, particularly in the United States since the 1990s.
