What is the meaning of the name Gadi ?

The baby name Gadi is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced GAH-dee (IPA: /ˈɡɑːdi/; Modern Hebrew: [ˈɡadi]).

Gadi is Hebrew in Origin.

Gadi is a Hebrew masculine name (גדי) rooted in the Semitic stem gd. It carries two intertwined senses: as a common biblical word gedi, it means “kid” or “young goat,” and by extension is associated with the Hebrew name for the zodiac sign Capricorn. As a hypocoristic (pet form) of names built on Gad - whose base meaning is “fortune” or “luck” - Gadi can also be interpreted as “my fortune” (with the -i suffix denoting possession).

In the Hebrew Bible, Gadi appears as the patronymic of Menahem ben Gadi, a king of Israel (2 Kings 15). Related forms include Gaddi and Gaddiel, attested among the tribal scouts (Numbers 13). In modern Israel, Gadi has been widely used since the mid-20th century as both a standalone name and a short form of Gad or Gadiel. Variants and related names: Gad, Gady (alternative transliteration), Gaddi, Gadiel/Gaddiel.
