Hydey is English in Origin.

Hydey (pronounced HY-dee) is a modern, rare given name with two plausible roots. It can be a creative spelling of Heidi, the German diminutive of Adelheid, from adal “noble” + heid “kind, sort,” giving the sense “of noble kind.” Alternatively, Hydey may derive from the English surname Hyde (and place-name The Hyde), from Old English hīd, a unit of land sufficient to support a household; by extension it can mean “one from the hide/estate.” Both paths make Hydey a crisp, contemporary choice with either Germanic or Anglo-Saxon heritage.

Usage appears chiefly in recent Anglophone naming, sometimes as a unisex option. Related forms and variants include Heidi, Heidy, Heide, Haidee/Haïdée, Haydee, Haidy; and the surname-based Hyde or Hidy. Cultural touchstones include Johanna Spyri’s novel Heidi (1881) and Byron’s Haidée in Don Juan, which helped familiarize the HY-dee sound.
