How to Pronounce Randie
Pronounced RAN-dee /ˈræn.di/High
Meaning: Randie is a mid-century respelling of Randy used for girls, where Randy is itself a pet form of Miranda ('worthy of admiration,' Latin) or, less often, a borrowing of the boys' short form of Randall ('shield-wolf,' Old English). The -ie ending softens it for a daughter.Low

History & Origin
Randie is a product of the mid-century American taste for breezy, unisex-sounding nickname names given straight on the birth certificate. It reads as a feminine respelling of Randy, which traces back either to Miranda, the Latin name meaning 'worthy of admiration,' or to the boys' name Randall, from Old English for 'shield-wolf.'
The name rose in the early nineteen-fifties, peaked around 1952, and lingered as a rarity for decades afterward. It has the brisk, sporty feel of its era's girl-nicknames and today sounds firmly vintage, evoking a specific mid-century informality rather than any current revival.
