One of the earliest recorded instances of the Jedele surname can be found in the historical records of the town of Leipzig, where a certain Johann Jedele was listed as a merchant in the year 1587. This suggests that the name had already gained some prominence in the region by that time.

As the Jedele name spread throughout the German lands, it also found its way into the neighboring regions of what is now Austria and Switzerland. In the 18th century, a notable figure bearing this surname was Karl Jedele, a renowned musician and composer from Vienna, who was born in 1712 and made significant contributions to the development of classical music during his lifetime.

The 19th century saw the Jedele name gain further recognition, particularly in the field of academia. Friedrich Jedele, born in 1823 in the town of Freiburg, became a respected scholar and historian, authoring several influential works on the cultural and social history of Germany.
