Melidie is French, Greek in Origin.

Melidie is a modern, rare variant of Melody/Mélodie, the English and French given names built from the noun meaning “melody.” The word traces to Greek melōidía “singing, choral song” (from melos “song” + ōidē “ode, song”), passing through Latin melodia and Old French melodie before entering Middle English as melody. As a given name it carries the sense of “tune,” “sweet song,” or “musical sound,” with Melidie typically pronounced MEL-ih-dee.

Given names based on Melody gained currency in the English-speaking world in the mid-20th century and saw peaks in the 1960s-70s in the US; the French form Mélodie rose in the 1980s-90s. Melidie reflects contemporary spelling creativity and remains uncommon. Related forms and variants include Melody, Melodie, Mélodie, Melodi, and Melodye; short forms such as Mel, Mellie, Lodie, or Dee occur.
