caedy is English in Origin.

Caedy is a modern English given name, most often a creative respelling of Cady/Kady. Those forms arise either as short forms of Cadence (ultimately from Latin cadere “to fall,” via the musical term meaning “rhythm, cadence”) or as pet forms of Katherine through Welsh Cadi and English Katie (from Greek Aikaterinē, commonly interpreted as “pure”). The -ae- sequence and final -y lend a contemporary, gender-flexible feel, and some parents also hear an echo of the surname-based given name Cade.

Seldom recorded before the late 1990s, Caedy appears in Anglophone usage from the 2000s onward alongside other inventive spellings. It skews feminine when linked to Cadence/Katherine, though the Cade connection can make it unisex. Related variants include Cady, Cadie, Caidey, Caedie, Kady, Kadie, Kaedy, and Kaidee. Depending on the preferred root, bearers may interpret its meaning as “rhythm/flow” or “pure.”
