Londie is English in Origin.

Londie is a modern diminutive of the place-name London, used as a given name in the English-speaking world. As a pet form with the -ie ending, it reads warm and familiar and is used for all genders, though it skews feminine. The underlying place-name London has an uncertain pre-Roman etymology, so Londie typically carries the locative sense “from London” or “of London.” The rise of London/Londyn as first names in the late 20th and early 21st centuries has made Londie occasionally appear on records rather than just as a nickname.

In Southern Africa, Londie can also be a short form or stylistic spelling of the Zulu name Londiwe, from the verb -londa “to guard, watch,” yielding the meaning “protected” or “kept safe.” Related and variant forms include London, Londyn, Londynn, Londi, and Londiwe; loosely associated diminutives include Loni/Lonie and Lonnie.
