Goldey is in Origin.

Goldey is a modern English given name, a variant spelling of Goldie and a diminutive form ultimately rooted in the Germanic word for “gold” (Old English gold; Yiddish gold). It also aligns with the Yiddish feminine names Golda and Golde, long used in Ashkenazi communities. As a word-name, Goldey carries the luminous meanings of “golden,” “precious,” and “radiant,” evoking warmth and value.

Usage emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries alongside other gemstone and virtue names; while Goldie saw broader popularity in the U.S. and Britain, Goldey remained the rarer, stylistic variant, sometimes reflecting the spelling of a family surname. Variants and related forms include Goldie, Goldy, Golde, Golda, and the modern unisex Golden; elaborations such as Marigold also appear. Today Goldey feels vintage yet playful, fitting the revival of bright, nickname-style names with heritage resonance.
