Randie
Randie Origin and Meaning
Randie is a masculine name that originated as a diminutive form of Randall or Randolph, both deriving from the Old Norse name Randólfr, meaning "shield wolf" or "rim wolf," suggesting protection and strength. This spelling variant, with the -ie ending, emerged in the mid-20th century as a more casual, friendly version of the traditional name. Randie has also been used as a feminine name, making it one of many names that cross gender lines. As a masculine name, Randie peaked in popularity during the 1950s and 1960s in the United States but has always remained relatively uncommon. The name carries a friendly, approachable quality while maintaining connections to its more formal root names. The playful spelling gives Randie a slightly informal character compared to Randy or Randall.
