Sandie
About Sandie
Sandie is a charming feminine name that originated as a diminutive form of Sandra, which itself is a shortened form of Alexandra (meaning 'defender of mankind'). With Scottish and English roots, Sandie peaked in popularity in the 1960s and 70s but has since become less common, giving it a vintage appeal. The name is often associated with warmth and friendliness, partly due to its connection to sandy beaches and sunshine. The spelling with 'ie' rather than 'y' adds a distinctive touch while maintaining its approachable character. Sandie works well as both a full name and nickname, offering versatility with its casual, unpretentious feel combined with historical depth.
Pronounced SAN-dee.
As of October 2026, Sandie ranked #13249 in US births in 2010 SSA, peaked at #897 in 1947.
