Judie Origin and Meaning

The name Judie is a girl's name.

Judie is a feminine name that serves as a variation of Judy, itself a diminutive of Judith. Derived from the Hebrew name Yehudit meaning 'woman from Judea' or 'praised,' Judie carries biblical connections to the Book of Judith. This spelling variant with an 'ie' ending was particularly popular during the 1940s and 1950s, coinciding with actress Judy Garland's fame. While less common than the standard Judy spelling, Judie offers a slight twist on the familiar name. The name evokes a friendly, approachable quality and carries nostalgic associations with mid-20th century America. Though its usage has declined since its mid-century peak, Judie retains a classic, unpretentious charm.
