rendi is English, Indonesian in Origin.

Rendi is a modern variant of Randy/Rendy, used in several countries and typically pronounced REN-dee. In English it aligns with the medieval surname-given names Randall and Randolph, ultimately from Germanic elements rand “shield-rim” and wulf “wolf,” yielding the martial meaning “shield-wolf.” Randy rose as a nickname and independent name in the mid‑20th century; Rendi/Rendy appear as contemporary respellings. The name is especially common in Indonesia from the late 20th century onward, likely influenced by English forms, and is predominantly masculine there.

A secondary pathway links Rendi to Scandinavian Randi, a feminine name rooted in Old Norse Ragnfríðr (regin “the gods’ counsel” + fríðr “beautiful, beloved”), giving senses such as “divine counsel” and “beautiful.” Variants and cognates include Rendy, Randy, Randi, Randee, Randie; related formal names are Randall and Randolph. The name is therefore unisex across traditions, with gender use varying by region.
