Gladi Origin and Meaning

The name Gladi is a girl's name.

Gladi is a feminine name that likely originated as a shortened form of Gladys or Gladiola. The root 'glad' comes from the Latin 'gladius' meaning 'sword,' though in modern contexts it's more associated with happiness and joy. Gladiola refers to the flower, giving the name a natural, floral connection. Gladi has a bright, cheerful sound that mirrors its associations with gladness. As an independent name, Gladi is quite uncommon, appearing rarely in birth records. It has a vintage charm combined with a modern, abbreviated style that might appeal to parents seeking something distinctive yet accessible. The name's brevity and ending with a vowel sound gives it a feminine, melodic quality despite its origins relating to swords.
