Ovidie is French, Latin in Origin.

Ovidie is a French feminine form of Ovidia, the Latin feminine of Ovidius, a Roman nomen best known from Publius Ovidius Naso, the poet Ovid, born in 43 BCE. Ovidius is usually linked with Latin ovis, sheep, with the gentilic suffix -idius marking family affiliation; the literal sense is therefore sheep-related or belonging to the sheep. The often-cited bird explanation confuses it with Latin avis and is not the standard etymology.

Use as a given name has been much rarer than the masculine Ovid, Ovide, Ovidio, or Romanian Ovidiu, all sustained chiefly by the classical author’s reputation in European education. Ovidie appears in French and Scandinavian records, often as a variant of Ovidia; Norwegian and Swedish counts show only small numbers in recent name statistics. Contemporary visibility is mainly French, owing to the filmmaker and writer who uses Ovidie as a professional name.
