Mindi is English in Origin.

Mindi is a modern English feminine given name, a respelling of Mindy, long used as a pet form of Melinda and occasionally of Miranda. Melinda, coined in late 18th‑century English, blends Greek meli “honey” with the -inda suffix seen in Belinda and Lucinda, giving the sense of “sweet” or “honeyed.” Through Miranda, from Latin mirandus “admirable, wonderful,” Mindi also carries an association with “worthy of admiration.”

As an independent name, Mindy gained U.S. currency mid‑20th century and surged after the 1978 TV series Mork & Mindy; the Mindi spelling rode the same wave, peaking in the 1970s–80s before declining. Principal variants include Mindy (standard), Mindie, Mindee, and less commonly Myndi/Myndee; related formal names are Melinda and Miranda. The name’s tone is brisk and friendly, with a bright, approachable feel.
