Bardi is a cross-cultural given name and surname with several roots. In Iranian use it often shortens Bardia (from Old Persian Bardiya), the name borne by a son of Cyrus the Great; in that tradition it carries the sense of "exalted" or "high-ranking." Variants include Bardia and Bardiya, with Bard as a clipped form.

In Italy, Bardi is primarily a toponymic and dynastic surname - famous for the powerful Florentine banking family - and only recently adopted as a first name, especially in the diaspora. In the North Atlantic, Bardi can be an anglicized form of Icelandic Bárði/Bárður, familiar from saga tradition, while in Albanian contexts it sits near Bardh/Bardhi "white," sometimes rendered as Bardi. Related forms include Bard, Bardo, and Albanian Bardhi. Because of these multiple channels, meanings range from Persian "exalted" to Albanian "white," with Italian usage tied to lineage rather than semantics.
