If you're searching for a charming biblical name, we have one that you might want to consider. In the bible, the name Jedidiah was given to King Solomon after the prophet Nathan was sent a message by God to tell David and Bathsheba that their second son must be called this name as it means “beloved of the Lord.” The belief is that throughout Jedidiah’s upbringing and reign, the Lord loved him; because of that, Israel had peace and prosperity. On the flip side though, this name could be a fun twist for Star Wars lovers, you can also shorten it to Jedi as a cool nickname for baby.
