Hiddy is in Origin.

Hiddy is a rare, modern given name and nickname with several plausible roots. In West Frisian and Low German, it echoes the medieval short form Hiddi/Hidde, itself related to Germanic names built on hild/hadu “battle.” From this line, Hiddy aligns with variants such as Hidde and Hiddo and carries the sense of “fighter” or “battle-ready.”

It also surfaces as a playful variant of Heidi (a diminutive of Adelheid/Adelaide, “noble kind”) and of Hilda/Hilde (“battle”), making it usable for any gender. In Japanese contexts, Hiddy can represent an English-style nickname for Hide- names (e.g., Hideyuki, Hidenori, Hideo), where the kanji Hide (秀) means “excellent” or “outstanding.” Documented usage is scattered and contemporary, mainly in the 20th–21st centuries. Related or variant forms include Hidde, Hiddo, Hidi/Hidy, Heidi, and, by association, Hilda/Hilde and Hide.
