What is the meaning of the name Birdy ?

The baby name Birdy is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈbɜːrdi/ or /ˈbɝdi/ (BUR-dee).

Birdy is English in Origin.

Birdy is an English word name and diminutive formed from bird with the affectionate suffix -y/-ie, ultimately traceable to Old English bridd ‘young bird’. It conveys the sense of “little bird,” with associations of lightness, freedom, and song. As a given name it is primarily feminine, though the simple nature word makes it broadly appealing and modern.

As a forename, the spelling Birdie was popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries in the United States before fading; contemporary interest in vintage and nature names has brought a quiet revival. Birdy is a modern respelling, less common than Birdie but rising.
