Generosity or excellence
Derived from the Arabic root meaning to be great or to excel, it is often associated with generosity and high quality. It is a modern, streamlined version of more traditional Arabic names like Jadallah. In some contexts, it can also refer to a grandfather or ancestor.
Fewer than 5 boys were named Jadd in 2025.
