History & Origin

Rendi restyles Randi, the peppy short form of Miranda or Randall, by trading its opening vowel. It belongs to the broad postwar taste for -i names that felt friendly and modern. It was never common in either spelling here, and the Rendi form in particular stayed a real rarity.

Rendi reached its modest high around 1983, given to only about fourteen girls in its peak year. A girl named Rendi then is in her early forties today, part of Generation X.

Did you know? The -i ending that closes Rendi was a mid-century fashion for girls' names - Randi, Jodi, Terri, Kerri - meant to look casual and cheerful on the page.
