About the name Heidi

A Swiss childrens novel from 1881 exported this pet form of Adelheid to the entire world, complete with alpine meadows attached. It peaked in America during the seventies and now sounds pleasantly retro rather than dated.

Heidi is a girl name of German origin, pronounced HY-dee. On the NameRarity scale it scores 69 out of 100, which places it in the rare band — recognisable but seldom used. Distinctive without needing to be spelled out twice. Its strongest period was the 1970s.
