Graydie is Irish in Origin.

Graydie is a modern given name, most plausibly a creative blend of the English word and surname Gray (from Old English for "gray") with the Irish surname-derived Grady. Grady comes from the Gaelic O Grada/O Gradaigh, "descendant of Grada," a personal name meaning "noble" or "illustrious." As a result, Graydie carries connotations of nobility and renown, softened by the friendly -ie ending and a cool, color-name vibe. Usage is comfortably unisex.

In historical terms, Grady has been established in Ireland and the United States since the late 19th century, while Graydie surfaces as a rare 20th-21st century coinage and alternative spelling. It fits contemporary preferences for surnames-as-first-names and gentle, end-in-ie forms. Variant spellings and close relatives include Grady, Gradie, Graydee, Graydi, Graydy, and Gray; broader cognates are Grey and Grayson/Graysen. Overall, Graydie offers a modern twist on a classic Irish root.
