Well . . .I've seen Jebediah / Jebidiah in places - there's a Perth band with that name, for a start - so the OP hasn't necessarily mistaken it for Jedidiah. Whether the parents of various Jebediahs / Jebidiahs made that mistake is another matter.Edited to add: perhaps it has come from Zebadiah?

JEBEDIA sounds like a biblical name, but obviously it isn't. I haven't been able to find the verbal root JBD in Hebrew. There are thousands of hits for J., when you google, a very funny one being Jebediah Springfield, a character from the Sipmsons. So could it be made up?

I think it is probably made up, in the sense that someone's taken the starting sound of Jedidiah and the ending sounds of Zebadiah and mixed them together.

YesMr. Springfield's name is actually Jebediah Obadiah Zachariah Jenediah Springfield, so his first name is clearly a joke.'Course, Springfield was actually a fraud and a pirate whose real name was the far less glamorous Hans Sprungfeld.

Or Jedidiah and Obadiah?
