Girls' Name - Heidi

Heidi was the 83rd most popular girls' name in England and Wales last year. It is a cute and spunky name with an exotic yet familiar style. 

This German name is a diminutive of Adelheid, a form of Adelaide which means 'noble kind'.

Heidi is probably most commonly known as the eponymous heroine of Joanna Spyri's famous novel which is still a favourite with many children. As it was a huge favourite of mine, I always get excited when I meet a Heidi. 

Another possible source of Heidi's growing popularity is its association with the very beautiful German supermodel, Heidi Klum.
