Keddi is in Origin.

Keddi is a modern, gender-neutral given name with multicultural roots. In the Anglophone world it most often appears as a streamlined variant of the Scottish/Irish surname Keddy/Keddie, which is connected to the Gaelic O Ceidigh "descendant of Ceidigh," a personal name of uncertain meaning (sometimes linked to cead/ceadach, "hundred; abundant; chief"). In Southern Africa, it aligns with Kedi, a common nickname from Sesotho/Setswana names like Kedibone ("you have seen"), giving Keddi a warm, affirming sense. The Turkish word kedi ("cat") also lends a playful, modern association, though not a traditional etymology.

As a given name, Keddi has seen sporadic use since the late 20th century, appealing for its crisp cadence and easy spelling. Variants and related forms include Keddie, Keddy, Kedi, Kedy, and Kedie; longer anchors include Kedibone and the surnames Keddie/Keddy. Usage is rare but cross-cultural, making Keddi a distinctive, contemporary choice.
