Jedd is a boy's baby name of Hebrew origin, a variant spelling of Jed — itself a short form of Jedidiah, meaning 'beloved of God' or 'friend of God.' The double-d gives it a punchy, frontier-style visual character.
Jed and Jedd evoke classic American ruggedness, associated with the wide-open West. In the era of short, strong names like Reed, Cade, and Beau, Jedd has a timeless simplicity that still feels fresh.
Jedd climbed 832 spots in the last 20 years — from #5955 to #5123.
