Zabdi; a proper name borne by several Israelites, possibly meaning 'my gift' or 'gift of Yah.'
A masculine proper name likely meaning 'my gift' or possibly a shortened form of Zabdiel ('gift of God'). The name is borne by at least four distinct individuals in the Hebrew Bible: the grandfather of Achan from the tribe of Judah (Josh 7:1, 17-18), a Benjaminite listed in the genealogy of 1 Chronicles 8:19, an overseer of David's vineyard stores (1 Chr 27:27), and a Levite in Nehemiah 11:17 who may be identical with Zichri. The Arabic cognate zabd ('gift') supports the etymological interpretation. The name appears in the New Testament as Zebedee (Greek Zebedaios).

1. Zabdi (proper name, several Israelites) — Zabdi, a proper name borne by several Israelite men: (1) grandfather of Achan, of Judah (Josh 7:1, 17, 18), possibly identical with Zimri of 1 Chr 2:6; (2) a Benjaminite (1 Chr 8:19); (3) an officer over David's wine cellars (1 Chr 27:27); (4) a Levite in Nehemiah's time (Neh 11:17). The name derives from a root meaning 'gift' (cf. Arabic zabd), and may be a hypocoristic of Zabdiel. Transliterations are consistent: English/Spanish 'Zabdi,' French/German 'Zavdi,' reflecting the stable consonantal framework. 6×
