Teddey Origin and Meaning

The name Teddey is a boy's name.

Teddey is a masculine name that functions as a variant spelling of Teddy, which originated as a diminutive of Theodore or Edward. Theodore derives from Greek elements meaning 'gift of God,' while Edward comes from Old English meaning 'wealthy guardian.' This specific spelling with an extra 'e' gives the traditional nickname a more distinctive appearance while maintaining its familiar pronunciation. Teddey carries the warm, approachable qualities associated with teddy bears, which were named after President Theodore 'Teddy' Roosevelt. While less common than the standard Teddy spelling, Teddey offers a slightly more formal appearance for those considering using the nickname as a given name. It conveys a friendly, affable character with historical connections to respected figures.
