Goldie, an uncommon and striking given name of English origin, is derived from the adjective 'gold'. This name has been predominantly used as a nickname or pet form for girls named Golda or Goldie, but can also stand alone as a unique choice for a child's name. It is associated with preciousness, warmth, and brilliance, much like the metal it's derived from.
"The name Goldie experienced significant fluctuations in popularity over time, with peaks such as 22 births in 1916 and 17 births both in 1918 and 1919, likely influenced by World War I. However, it became relatively uncommon after the mid-20th century, with most recent years showing fewer than 8 births."
