Girl name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Kaydi: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 2013.

Kaydi is a modern, phonetic spelling of names like Kady or Katie, ultimately rooted in Katherine, which comes from the Greek *katharos*, meaning “pure.” This particular variant has seen occasional use in Scotland since the late 20th century, reflecting a broader trend toward playful, personalised spellings. While no famous historical figures bear the exact form Kaydi, the name shares its heritage with Saint Catherine of Alexandria and many royal bearers of Katherine. No prominent place connections exist for this spelling. As a further note, Kaydi is one of several creative adaptations—alongside Kaidi, Kaydee, and Kady—that have kept the classic name Katherine feeling fresh in contemporary naming, especially in English‑speaking countries.
