Girl name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Kaidi: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 2011.
The name Kaidi is most commonly understood as an Estonian diminutive of Kadri (the local form of Katherine), meaning "pure," from the Greek *katharos*. It also appears as a given name in Chinese, where it can be formed from characters meaning "victory" and "brightness," and occasionally as a Finnish version of the boy’s name Kaido. While no widely known historical figures bear this exact name, it shares roots with Saint Catherine of Alexandria, one of medieval Europe’s most venerated saints. There are no prominent place-names directly linked to the name Kaidi, though Kadriorg Palace in Tallinn, Estonia, is named after Catherine I of Russia. The name has enjoyed quiet popularity in Scotland since the 1990s, reflecting a broader trend for short, international-sounding names.
