Fun Facts About the Name Teddie

What Does the Name Teddie Mean?
Teddie is an English diminutive of Edward or Theodore, and its meaning depends on which parent name is intended. From Edward it means "wealthy guardian," and from Theodore it means "gift of God." Edward comes from the Old English name Eadweard, formed from ead "wealth, fortune" and weard "guardian, protector." Theodore comes from the Greek Theodoros, formed from theos "god" and doron "gift." Teddie itself has no separate root; it is formed by adding the English diminutive ending -ie to Ted, a short form of those names. It is also sometimes a feminine diminutive of Theresa, a name of uncertain etymology; a proposed Greek derivation from therizo "to harvest" is not securely established.
Teddie Name History & Origins
Teddie is a spelling variant of Teddy, an affectionate English diminutive. The short form Ted was used for Edward, a royal and common name in medieval England, and the ending -y or -ie was added to make Teddy or Teddie. The same pattern produced Teddy from Theodore, a Greek name borne by early saints and later used in the English-speaking world. Because Teddie can stand for more than one parent name, its history is not a single line of descent but the history of those short forms.
The -ie spelling is one of several English diminutive spellings, alongside -y and -ey. In modern English-speaking countries, Teddie is also used as a given name in its own right, not only as a nickname. It is used for both boys and girls, though it is more often masculine when derived from Edward or Theodore and feminine when derived from Theresa. The teddy bear takes its name from President Theodore Roosevelt, whose nickname was Teddy; that is a cultural association rather than the origin of the given name.
