Londi is English in Origin.

Londi is a short Nguni given name from the Zulu/Xhosa/Ndebele verb londa, meaning to protect, guard, or preserve. It commonly functions as a familiar form of Londiwe (the protected one) or Londeka (be safe/secure), and by extension carries the sense of protected or kept safe. Usage is strongest in South Africa and neighboring countries, where it is heard mostly for girls but can be unisex.

Beyond southern Africa, Londi also appears as a modern standalone name, sometimes inspired by or clipped from the English place-name London (of uncertain etymology), giving it a secondary association in Anglophone settings. Variant forms and related names include Londiwe, Londeka, and the affectionate Londie; occasional spellings such as Londy also occur. While not widely documented historically as a formal given name, Londi has grown in late-20th- and 21st-century use through diaspora communities and contemporary naming trends emphasizing succinct, meaningful choices.
