What is the meaning of the name Addy ?

The baby name Addy is a Unisex name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced AD-ee (ˈædi).

Addy is in Origin.

Addy is an English diminutive used for several Ad- names - most commonly Adelaide, Adeline, Adele, and Ada - whose shared Germanic root adal means “noble.” It can also abbreviate the modern surname-name Addison, yielding the alternative sense “son of Adam,” and is occasionally a pet form of Adam. Because it compresses multiple sources, Addy is broadly unisex, though contemporary usage in the United States and Britain skews feminine.

Parish and census records in Britain and the United States attest to Addy/Addie as a familiar form from the 18th and 19th centuries, with renewed visibility in the 21st century alongside the revival of vintage Ad- names and the rise of Addison. Variant spellings include Addie, Addi, Adie, and Ady; closely related formal names are Ada, Adele, Adela, Adelina, Adeline, Adelaide, and Addison. A surname Addy also exists in northern England and Scotland, derived from medieval pet forms of Adam.
