What is the meaning of the name Sadie ?

The baby name Sadie is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈseɪ.di/ (SAY-dee).

Sadie is English in Origin.

Sadie is the English pet form of Sarah, from Hebrew Sarah, meaning "princess" or "noblewoman." The affectionate -ie ending arose in early modern English naming habits, and Sadie appears in parish and census records by the 18th century. It flourished in Britain and the United States during the Victorian era and Gilded Age, served as an Anglicized everyday name for many Jewish immigrants, then waned mid-20th century before a strong revival from the 1990s through the 2010s across the Anglosphere.

Variants and spellings include Sadye (vintage), Saydee, Sadee, and Sayde; related forms from the same root are Sarah, Sara, Sarai, and diminutives such as Sally and Sarie. In Hebrew, Sarit is a modern affectionate equivalent. Cultural touchpoints range from Sadie Hawkins Day (Al Capp's Li'l Abner) to the Beatles' "Sexy Sadie" and contemporary fiction, reinforcing its lively, friendly image while retaining the regal meaning of its origin.
