Randie
Randie Origin and Meaning
Randie is a feminine name that serves as a variant of Randy, which originated as a diminutive of names containing the element 'rand' meaning 'shield rim' or 'wolf shield' in Old English and Germanic languages. It can also be a nickname for names like Miranda, Sandra, or Randall. The feminine spelling with 'ie' ending softens the more traditionally masculine 'Randy.' This name gained moderate popularity in the United States during the 1950s and 1960s but remains relatively uncommon today. Randie has a playful, casual quality while maintaining a certain strength and spunkiness. It's perceived as friendly and approachable, with a somewhat tomboyish charm that resonates with those seeking a name that balances femininity with an energetic spirit.
