Idy is a diminutive name, its exact origins are elusive, possibly a shortened form of names like Ida, meaning 'industrious' or 'prosperous,' or perhaps linked to Idris, a Welsh prophet. It emerged in data records in the late 1970s, suggesting a modern revival of a more ancient sound, a name plucked from obscurity.
