Heidy

US Popularity Rank: 3174

Origin: German

Meaning: Nobility, the noble one

If you're seeking a meaningful name for your little one, Heidy is your perfect match. Like its twin, Heidi, it takes after the German form Adelheid, which means "nobility" or "the noble one." This pick for baby girls was made famous by the children's book series Heidi released in 1880. Swiss author Johanna Spyri tells the story of a young, fearless girl living with her grandfather in the Swiss Alps. Her adventures continue to be adapted and rewritten in film, theatre, and television. A name like Heidy will bring out baby's strength and thirst for independence. You can expect them to love the word no during those troublesome twos! If alpine adventures aren’t their cup of tea, they can look up to supermodel and TV producer Heidi Klum or Olympic snowboarder Heidi Neururer.
