Debi Origin and Meaning

The name Debi is a girl's name.

Debi is a feminine name primarily used as a friendly, approachable nickname for Deborah or Debra. These parent names have Hebrew origins meaning 'bee' or 'industrious one.' The simplified spelling with an 'i' ending became particularly popular in the 1950s and 1960s as a casual, affectionate form of the more formal Debbie. Debi peaked in popularity during this mid-century period but has declined since, now considered somewhat vintage. The name carries a warm, unpretentious quality that reflects the friendly, approachable naming style of its era. While less commonly given as a legal first name today, Debi maintains appeal for parents drawn to retro names or seeking to honor family members from that generation.
