Laddie Origin and Meaning

The name Laddie is a boy's name.

Laddie is a masculine name with Scottish origins, traditionally used as an affectionate term for a boy or young man in Scotland. The word 'lad' means 'boy,' and 'laddie' is its diminutive form. As a proper name, Laddie emerged primarily in the early 20th century, possibly influenced by popular culture references including the famous collie dog character 'Lassie' (with Laddie being the male equivalent). The name carries a friendly, approachable quality with its cheerful sound and informal heritage. Laddie peaked in popularity in the United States during the 1930s but has since become quite uncommon. The name evokes a sense of youthful energy and charm, with connections to Scottish culture that might appeal to families with Celtic heritage.
