Meaning & Story
A variant of Kady or Katie, itself a diminutive of Katherine, from the Greek 'Aikaterine', meaning 'pure.'
Cady is a crisp, cheerful name with a fresh-from-the-meadow feel — short enough to snap in the air when you call it at the dog park. It suits a spunky, bright-eyed girl who's always one step ahead of you and twice as clever. The name has just enough polish to feel intentional without being fussy. Cady moves fast, plays hard, and always comes running.
