Meidad is an ancient biblical Hebrew name with profound meaning related to love and friendship. The name appears in the Torah in the Book of Numbers, where Meidad and Eldad were two elders chosen from among the seventy elders upon whom the spirit of prophecy rested in the wilderness. Meidad's name derives from the root 'Y-D-D', expressing love, affection, and deep friendship. The basic meaning of the name is 'beloved', 'dear one', or 'friend', reflecting qualities of warmth, human closeness, and the ability to form meaningful connections with others. The biblical story of Meidad and Eldad is one of the most fascinating in the Torah. When Moses chose seventy elders upon whom the spirit of prophecy would rest, Meidad and Eldad remained in the camp and did not come to the Tent of Meeting. Nevertheless, the spirit of prophecy rested upon them and they began to prophesy within the camp. Joshua son of Nun, Moses' faithful disciple, asked his teacher to prevent them from prophesying, but Moses replied with the famous response: 'Are you jealous for my sake? Would that all the LORD's people were prophets, that the LORD would put His spirit upon them!' This response from Moses teaches about his humility and his desire that all of Israel merit the holy spirit. Meidad and Eldad, according to the Midrash, prophesied about Moses' death and Joshua's entry into the Land of Israel, a prophecy that indeed came true. The name Meidad carries a deep message of true friendship, loyalty, and honesty. A person bearing this name is perceived as warm-hearted, as someone who knows how to love and be loved, who values human connections and maintains friendships over many years. Traits associated with the name include sociability, pleasantness, humor, and the ability to listen and understand others. In the modern era, the name Meidad retains its ancient charm and gives its bearer a unique identity connecting him to the rich biblical heritage. This is a name suitable for parents seeking an original name with deep spiritual meaning that expresses values of love, friendship, and connection to Jewish roots.
