Leddin was born as the son of the mayor of Lübben, Andreas Leddin (1591–1676) and Anna Strentzel. His only brother, Andreas Leddin, later became the chief administrative secretary of the Saxon-Merseburg office .

Leddin himself first attended school in Lübben, but ended his school days in Bautzen, where he had moved in 1645. 1658 studied Leddin at the University of Jena the law . Professionally, he first appeared as a lawyer at the Oberamt Lübben, but went back to the university in Jena in 1664 to work as a legal licensee and respondent .
