Perdi
Perdi Origin and Meaning
Perdi is a feminine name most commonly used as a shortened form of Perdita, which derives from Latin meaning "lost" or "lost one." This connection traces back to Shakespeare's "The Winter's Tale," where Perdita is a princess abandoned as an infant. As a standalone name, Perdi maintains the literary connection while offering a more playful, approachable quality. The name has a distinctive British feel and projects a spirited, energetic personality. While never widely used, Perdi appeals to parents drawn to literary names with a touch of uniqueness. Its brevity makes it fresh and modern despite its classical roots. The name has occasional use in the United Kingdom and among English-speaking families with an appreciation for Shakespeare or distinctive short names with historical resonance.
