Sadie

Sadie

The name Sadie has only been used as a first name within the last century. There have been songs written about the name, however, including the popular Beatles' song, “Sexy Sadie.” Though Sadie was originally a nickname on its own accord, it is now a very popular first name for girls.

Meaning of the Name Sadie

Sadie began in England as a nickname for children who were royalty who had the name, Sarah and means princess, lady, and noblewoman. The name has since become a popular first name on its own accord, giving a more fun vibe than the name Sarah.

The name Sarah and the name Sadie both mean princess as Sadie was originally a nickname for the name Sarah. Now, however, the name Sadie takes a step away from that regality, making its meaning more ironic, as it is a name that has a certain fun spirit behind it.
