candi is English in Origin.
Candi is an English given name functioning either as a short form of Candice/Candace or as an independent spelling influenced by the word "candy." Its deeper roots trace to two sources: Latin candidus, "bright, white, pure," which underlies Candida and Candice; and Greek/Latin Kandake (Candace), the royal title borne by queens of ancient Kush, referenced in the New Testament. Together these strands lend associations of purity, radiance, and regal stature.
Used chiefly in the United States and other English-speaking countries, Candi rose with the late-20th-century taste for nickname-style, -i endings and then declined, now feeling retro or playful. Common variants and related forms include Candy, Candie, Kandi; full forms Candice, Candace, and Candida (Spanish/Italian Cándida). It may serve as a nickname for any of these or stand alone. Diminutives: Candy/Candi; masculine cognates are rare.
