Vedder, derived from the Old English word 'weder' meaning 'weather', is an uncommon yet distinctive given name of Scandinavian origin. It gained popularity in the United States during the late 20th century, possibly due to its unique sound and its association with notable figures like Eddie Vedder, the lead vocalist of the American rock band Pearl Jam.
"From 2005 to 2023, there were a total of 106 babies named Vedder born annually, with the highest number of births occurring in 2011 (12 babies) and again in 2012 (13 babies). The years 2006 and 2018 saw no reported births of this name."
