Lydie

A shortened form of Lydia, Lydie is a feminine name that's ever-elegant and historically significant. Though Lydie has French beginnings, its longer variant comes from Greece, where it described an ancient region. Located in what is now Turkey, Lydia is said to have been the first place where gold and silver coins were used as currency. While it transformed into a first name over the centuries, Lydia's sense of place is preserved in its translation of "from Lydia." Your Lydie might not be able to find their name on a map today, but they'll still feel very lucky and rich to be the one to carry it.
