Meaning and background
The story behind Teddi
Teddi is a modern affectionate spelling used especially as a feminine short form of Theodora, itself related to Theodore. Its ending gives it a different visual identity from Ted or Teddy, even though they sound close in English. The Greek elements belong to the longer names; they should not be passed off as an independent word meaning for Teddi.
- Origin
- Modern short form of Theodora; related in usage to the Ted/Teddy name family. Source
