Vedis Origin and Meaning

The name Vedis is a girl's name.

Vedis is a rare feminine name with Norse origins, derived from Old Norse mythology where it appeared as Védís. The elements 'vé' meaning 'holy place' or 'shrine' and 'dís' meaning 'goddess' or 'priestess' combine to create a name with sacred connotations. This uncommon name carries ancient Nordic heritage while maintaining a relatively simple pronunciation (VEH-dees). Vedis remains primarily used in Iceland and other Scandinavian countries, though it is quite rare even there. The name possesses a mystical quality that connects to Norse spirituality and ancient European traditions. Its brevity and distinctive sound make it intriguing for parents seeking a name with authentic historical roots yet virtually unknown in most Western countries.
