What is the meaning of the name Giedre ?

The baby name Giedre is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced IPA: /ˈɡʲeːdrɛ/; approx. 'GYED-reh' (English respelling).

Giedre is Lithuanian in Origin.

Giedre is the diacritic-free diaspora form of Lithuanian Giedrė (pronounced GYEH-dreh), from the adjective giedras ‘clear, serene; fair (of weather).’ The name evokes bright skies, calmness, and good cheer, and by folk association also hints at song, since giedoti means ‘to sing, chant,’ reinforcing an uplifting, luminous image.

Recorded in Lithuanian name data since the early 20th century, Giedrė rose in popularity in the later Soviet era as part of the broader revival and retention of native Baltic names, and it remains familiar in Lithuania today. Variants and related forms include Giedra (rarer) and the masculine counterpart Giedrius; diaspora spellings often omit the diacritic as Giedre. Diminutives such as Giedrutė and Giedrelė appear in affectionate use. Notable bearers include singer-songwriter Giedrė Barauskaitė (known as GiedRé in France) and model Giedrė Dukauskaitė, which help keep the name visible beyond Lithuania.
