Eddi Origin and Meaning

The name Eddi is a girl's name.

Eddi is a gender-neutral name that appears most frequently as a feminine name in English-speaking countries. It functions as a nickname-style variation of more formal names like Edith, Edwina, or Edna for girls, or Edward, Edwin, or Edmund for boys. This spelling with the 'i' ending gives it a cheerful, diminutive quality compared to the more common 'Eddie' or 'Eddy' forms. While relatively uncommon as a formal given name in official records, Eddi has a friendly, approachable quality with its short, bright sound. The name's simplicity makes it accessible across cultures, while its connection to longer historical names gives it a sense of traditional grounding despite its contemporary feel.
