Reddy Origin and Meaning

The name Reddy is a boy's name meaning "descendent of Rodach; strong, spirited, furious, red; village headman".

An energetic and multicultural choice, Reddy derives from both the Irish Rodach, meaning "strong, spirited, red", and a Telugu surname that means "village headman" and appears in several Indian place names. It could make an interesting alternative for Eddie or Teddy and a nickname for Redmond, though some may be put off by the fact it sounds like "ready".
