Teddi
Girl name · 6 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Teddi: 6 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 2019.
Teddi is most often a diminutive of Theodora, the feminine form of Theodore, rooted in the Greek *Theodoros* meaning “gift of God.” While it shares its origins with the more formal Theodora, Teddi has a distinctly modern, playful energy, much like its cousin Teddy. Famous bearers include Teddi King, the American jazz singer known for her warm, smoky vocals, and Teddi Mellencamp, the reality television personality and daughter of rock musician John Mellencamp. The name also connects to the beloved teddy bear, itself named after President Theodore Roosevelt. Though rare in Scotland, Teddi’s cheerful, unisex feel makes it a charming choice for parents seeking something both spirited and sweet.
