History & Origin

Sady is a variant of Sadie, itself the classic diminutive of Sarah, from the Hebrew for 'princess' or 'lady.' Sadie was written straight onto birth records as a given name for generations, and the shorter Sady is a rarer spelling that carries the same royal meaning.

The spelling appears across a long span from the nineteen-tens onward, with a modest high around 2008 as Sadie itself revived. A girl named Sady at that peak is a teenager or young adult today.

Did you know? Sadie, the name behind Sady, was long a stand-alone pet form of Sarah, and its recent revival has made the old nickname fashionable again, though this trimmed Sady spelling remains scarce.
