Cadey is English, Scottish in Origin.
Cadey is a modern English given name, pronounced KAY-dee, usually a respelling of Cady. It has two main sources: a pet form of Cadence (from Latin cadentia, “falling, rhythm”) and a transferred use of the surname Cady, itself from the medieval Cade/Cada in Old English, of uncertain sense often glossed as “stout” or “round.” It may also serve as a phonetic variant of Katie from Katherine, giving the meaning “pure.” Variants include Cady, Cadie, Cadi, Kady, Kadey, and Kadie; related names are Cadence and Cade.
As a given name it has seen sporadic use in the United States and Britain since the late 20th century and remains uncommon. Pop-culture familiarity with Cady - through Cady Heron in Mean Girls - boosted recognition of the sound. The surname connection is anchored by Elizabeth Cady Stanton, the American suffragist.
