Zabdiel

Zabdiel is a Hebrew biblical name traditionally understood as “gift of God.” It appears among the less familiar names of the Old Testament, including as the name of Jashobeam's father. Its ending belongs to a broad group of Hebrew names that include a reference to God, but those names do not all share the same full meaning.

Compared with Gabriel or Adriel, Zabdiel has a more unusual consonant sequence in its opening syllable. The full spelling keeps the biblical connection visible without requiring a nickname. Families seeking a religious name beyond the most familiar choices may appreciate its specific textual history, rather than needing a modern celebrity to explain its use.
