I like the meaning, but I don’t like the sound of it. It’s my name, but I’m a female who pronounces it JAY-duh. People have always thought I was stupid, which is the opposite of this name’s meaning. Otherwise, I like YAH-dah for a man better than my own name.
In Hebrew, this name would likely be pronounced Yah-Dah. The phrase "yadda, yadda, yadda..." used to express "etc. Etc. Etc." may have come into use via Yiddish, perhaps deriving ultimately from this word.
