Heidie is German in Origin.
Heidie is a modern respelling of Heidi, the German pet form of Adelheid (Adelaide). Derived from Old High German adal 'noble' and heid 'type/kind,' the sense is 'noble sort,' often generalized to 'noble' or 'of noble birth.' While visually close to Heide, a separate German given name from the word for 'heath,' Heidie/Heidi belongs to the Adelheid family rather than to the landscape term.
Use of Heidie is rare and largely English-speaking, emerging in the later 20th century as an alternative to the standard Heidi. Broader popularity of the base name spread worldwide after Johanna Spyri's Swiss novel Heidi (1880) and its film and television adaptations, notably the 1937 Shirley Temple movie. Variants and spellings include Heidi, Heidy, Heydi, and Heidie; related forms and cognates are Adelheid, Adelaide, Ada, Adeline, Alice, and Dutch Alida. Germanic diminutives/relatives include Heike and Heidemarie.
