Dierdrie Origin and Meaning

The name Dierdrie is a girl's name.

Dierdrie is a variant spelling of Deirdre, a name from Irish mythology. The legendary Deirdre of the Sorrows was known for her extraordinary beauty and tragic fate. The name is believed to derive from the Old Irish 'der' and 'dir,' meaning 'woman' and 'tear,' often interpreted as 'sorrowful one' or 'one who rages.' This alternative spelling with 'ie' ending gives the traditional name a slightly softer, more modern feel while maintaining its Celtic heritage. Though less common than the traditional spelling, Dierdrie offers a distinctive twist on a name with rich cultural significance. The name carries an air of mystery and romance connected to its legendary origins in Irish folklore.
