Vadie is of Hebrew origin, meaning 'my son'. It's a unisex name but was traditionally used more for males in the past. In recent years, however, it has been increasingly used for females as well. The name Vadie is often associated with warmth and familiarity due to its informal, diminutive nature. It's a unique choice that stands out from more traditional names, yet still has a classic, timeless feel.
The name Vadie had its peak popularity during the early 20th century, with over 10 births recorded annually between 1901 and 1917. However, its usage began to decline after World War I, with fewer than 10 births per year from 1918 onwards. By the mid-20th century, the name had nearly fallen out of favor, with only a handful of births recorded annually between 1930 and 1951. Overall, there were a total of 441 babies named Vadie across these years.
