Zevadeyah
and-Zebadiah
Zebadyah is a masculine personal name meaning 'Yahweh has given' or 'Yahweh is gift.' The form appears as a theophoric name, incorporating the divine element 'Yah' (a shortened form of the Tetragrammaton). In the Hebrew Bible, Zebadyah refers to several distinct individuals, chiefly Israelites associated with various tribal and social contexts, primarily in monarchic and early post-exilic periods. The name is constructed from the verb 'to give' and the shortened divine name, indicating one given by or gifted from Yahweh. In narrative, genealogical, and administrative texts, it identifies multiple persons of some local or minor prominence.

| Morphological Notes | Proper masculine personal name (זְבַדְיָהוּ) with prefixed conjunction וּ ('and'); theophoric compound from זבד + יָהוּ. |
| Rendering Rationale | The name combines the root זבד (to bestow, give as a gift) with the theophoric suffix יָהוּ (Yahweh), forming a verbal-theophoric personal name meaning 'Yahweh has bestowed.' The prefixed וּ is the conjunction 'and,' preserved in the rendering. |
