What is the meaning of the name sandi ?

The baby name sandi is a Unisex name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈsæn.di/ ("SAN-dee").

sandi is in Origin.

Sandi is most commonly a diminutive of Sandra, itself a short form of Alexandra/Alessandra from Greek Alexandros (alexein “to defend” + aner/andros “man”), yielding the meaning “defender of men” or “protector of humankind.” It is also used as a pet form of Cassandra. In parts of Slovenia and Croatia, Sandi functions as a masculine hypocoristic of Aleksander/Aleksandar.

Used independently in the English-speaking world since the mid-20th century, Sandi peaked in the 1950s–70s as a breezy alternative to Sandy and today feels informal yet familiar. Variants and close relatives include Sandy (unisex), Sandie, Sandee; Sandra, Alexandra, Alessandra; masculine Sandro; and French Sandrine. Related regional forms include Sanda (Romania/Croatia) and the Latvian Sandis (masc.). While often a nickname, Sandi also stands well on its own, carrying a crisp, upbeat, midcentury charm.
