Jahdai
Jahdai is a biblical figure who according to 1 Chronicles 2:47, was either a concubine or a descendant of Caleb, son of Hezron. The text is ambiguous on the matter. 1 Chronicles 2:46-48 (Young's Literal Translation) reads: 46And Ephah concubine of Caleb bare Haran, and Moza, and Gazez; and Haran begat Gazez.
47And sons of Jahdai: Regem, and Jotham, and Geshem, and Pelet, and Ephah, and Shaaph.
48The concubine of Caleb, Maachah, bare Sheber and Tirhanah
The name has two possible meanings. The first part is יה (yah), a shortened form of יהוה (YHWH), the name of God; the second part may come from a rare verb הדה (hada), meaning to stretch out one's hand (particularly to handle snakes, to snake-charm). Another possible meaning is "whom Jehovah directs".
