Padie is English, Irish in Origin.
Padie is a modern Anglicized diminutive derived from Irish Páidí, itself a pet form of Pádraig (Patrick). Through the Latin Patricius, the name carries the sense “noble, patrician.” In Ireland, Páidí and Paudie have long served as familiar names for men called Pádraig, and Padie appears in English-language records as a phonetic rendering, particularly in 19th- and 20th-century parish and diaspora communities. While chiefly masculine in Irish use, Padie can function as a unisex pet form in English, sometimes attached to Patricia by analogy with Paddy and Patty.
Variants and related forms include Páidí, Paudie, Paddy, Pádraig, Patrick, and Patricia; less common spellings are Paidi and Pady. Pronunciations vary by tradition: Irish-influenced PAW-dee contrasts with the English PAY-dee. As a given name or nickname, Padie offers a friendly, vintage-lilt alternative to Patrick while preserving the same noble etymology.
Padie is extremely rare. There are only 9 recorded uses on record, spread over 4 countries.
