What is the meaning of the name Haydie ?

Haydie is German in Origin.

Haydie is a modern English respelling of Haidée, the literary name popularized by Lord Byron in Don Juan (1819–1824), where Haidée is a Greek heroine. The character’s fame spurred limited 19th‑century use in Britain and the United States and encouraged adoption in Romance languages, especially Spanish, where the accented form Haydée/Haidee took hold; it appears across Latin America and the Caribbean (notably borne by Cuban revolutionary Haydée Santamaría). Today, Haydie remains rare but recognizable as a stylish twist on the Byronesque original.

Etymology is debated. Some link Haidée to Greek aïdós “modesty, reverence,” yielding senses like “modest” or “respected”; others connect it with khaïdévo/chaideúo “to caress, pamper,” suggesting “cherished” or “beloved.” Variants include Haidee, Haidée, Haydee, Haydée, and less commonly Haidi; Haydie can be paired with nicknames Hay, Dede, or Dee. Despite phonetic overlap, it is etymologically distinct from Heidi (Adelheid).
