Cadi is Welsh in Origin.
Cadi is a Welsh diminutive of Catrin, the Welsh form of Catherine, ultimately from Greek katharos, "pure." As with many affectionate Welsh short forms ending in -i, it gained independent use in Wales and among the Welsh diaspora, buoyed by the enduring veneration of St. Catherine and the popularity of brisk, two-syllable nicknames. In contemporary Wales it reads warmly traditional yet modern, and is common in Welsh-language families.
Variants and related forms include Cati, Cadie, Cady, Kadi/Kady, and the broader Katie; longer roots are Catrin, Catrina/Catriona, Catherine, and Katherine. In English-speaking contexts Cadi can also be adopted as a short form of Cadence, though this is a separate etymology. Note that Cadi/Kadi may appear in Turkish or Arabic contexts as a transliteration of qadi "judge"; that form is etymologically unrelated to the Welsh name.
