Bandey is a rare given name and surname with two principal lineages. In the British Isles it reflects a surname-based forename, related to Bandy/Bandey, likely from a descriptive nickname for someone with bandy (bowed) legs or linked to the old stick‑and‑ball game “bandy.” In South Asian usage (Urdu, Punjabi, Kashmiri), Bandey echoes banda/bandā from Persian, meaning “servant” or “devotee,” often understood as “servant of God” and, by extension, “man; person.” This devotional nuance makes the name predominantly masculine in that context, though it can be used unisex in modern settings.

As a given name, Bandey surfaces in the late 20th and 21st centuries through the surname-to-first-name trend and among South Asian diaspora families preserving heritage forms. Notable variants and cognates include Bandy (English), Banday (Kashmiri), Bande and Banda (South Asian). Short forms such as Ban are occasionally used.
