Origin
The name Keidy appears to be a modern, invented variation likely influenced by contemporary naming trends in Australia and English-speaking countries. It does not have historical roots in traditional Aboriginal or Māori languages and is mainly contemporary in usage.
Meaning
While not an established name with a traditional meaning, Keidy can be considered a variant of names like Kaitlyn or Kayla, with 'Ky' or 'Kei' possibly inspired by the sound of 'key' or 'kai' (meaning 'food' or 'meal' in Māori, but not directly associated here). Thus, the name might evoke notions of 'key' (as in unlocking) or 'food', symbolising essential elements or nurturance in a symbolic sense.
Pronunciation
