Pady is in Origin.
Pady is a modern, streamlined spelling of Paddy, the familiar diminutive of Irish Pádraig and English Patrick; it is also sometimes used as a pet form of Patricia. All trace back to Latin Patricius, meaning "noble; patrician," giving Pady an upbeat, compact feel with aristocratic roots. Usage is typically unisex in nickname form, more common for boys when linked to Patrick and for girls when linked to Patricia.
Paddy has been widely used in Ireland and Britain since the 18th-19th centuries, carrying strong Irish associations and at times stereotyped overtones. Pady as a standalone or alternate spelling is rarer and largely contemporary, seen in Anglophone and some Hispanic contexts that favor -y nicknames. Variant forms include Paddy, Padi, Padie, and Paddi; related formal names include Pádraig/Pádraic/Páraic (Irish), Patrick, Patrice, Patricio/Patricia, and Patrício/Patrícia. The shared meaning across these forms remains "noble."
