Zedekiah

צִדְקִיָּהוּ

• Gender: Male
• Origin: Biblical / Rabbinic Hebrew
• Meaning: God is my righteousness

• Zedekiah was the last king of Judah before the Babylonian exile, and his name — meaning "God is my righteousness" — carries all the drama and gravitas of that pivotal moment in Jewish history. It is a name that sounds like it belongs on a throne, with a bold Z opening and a sweeping, prophetic rhythm.

  For parents drawn to big, dramatic biblical names, this one offers genuine historical weight to match the flash. It has the epic mouthfeel of Zachariah or Jeremiah but remains far rarer, giving your child a name that stands out even in a crowd of biblical revivals. The nickname Zed adds a sharp, contemporary edge that keeps it grounded.
