Meaning & origin
Zabdi entered U.S. birth records in 1999, a relatively recent addition to the naming landscape. Its peak usage came in 2007, after which it declined before beginning a renewed rise since 2022. The name may draw from the biblical Zabdiel, but its modern application often stands apart, making it as much a contemporary invention as a heritage name. For parents seeking an uncommon name with biblical echoes, Zabdi offers a distinctive option without a strong tie to any single state, as it has not concentrated in any top state by usage.
Zabdi appears in the Bible as a name of several minor figures, derived from the Hebrew זבדי (Zavdi), likely a short form of Zabdiel, meaning 'gift of God.' However, its modern usage for girls in the United States, first recorded in 1999, may represent a new coinage rather than a direct continuation of the biblical name. The name peaked in usage in 2007 and has seen a resurgence since 2022.
