A fictional famous bearer of this name is the character Zebedee from The Magic Roundabout, by Serge Danot. The character Zebedee is a good magician, and uses warmth and love magic. He is essentially a jack-in-the-box, like Zeebad. The television series was broadcast in England from 18 October 1965 to 25 January 1977, and it was released from 1964 to 1971 in France. It is still in common knowledge, and is regarded as a cult classic of the era! :)
