Candie Origin and Meaning

The name Candie is a girl's name.

Candie is a feminine name that emerged as a diminutive form of Candace or Candice, which ultimately derives from the title of ancient Ethiopian queens, meaning "queen mother" or "clear, pure." The spelling variation with an "-ie" ending gives it a particularly sweet, playful quality compared to the more formal Candy spelling. Candie enjoyed its greatest popularity in the United States during the 1950s and 1960s, reflecting the era's preference for affectionate, youthful-sounding girls' names. The name inevitably carries associations with sweetness and confectionery. While Candie has declined in usage since its mid-century peak, it retains a cheerful, nostalgic charm that connects to mid-century American culture.
