Glady Origin and Meaning

The name Glady is a girl's name.

Glady is a diminutive form of Gladys, which derives from the Welsh name Gwladus, meaning 'kingdom' or 'country'. This shortened version offers a friendly, approachable quality while maintaining the classic charm of its origin. While less common than Gladys, Glady has appeared periodically throughout the 20th century, particularly in the early to mid-1900s. The name carries a vintage feel that may appeal to parents seeking something familiar yet uncommon. Its simplicity and cheerful sound (reminiscent of 'glad' or 'gladness') give it a positive connotation, though it remains relatively rare in contemporary usage compared to similar vintage names that have seen revival.
