Pronunciation
English /ˈseɪdi/: SAY-dee, with initial stress.
Princess, inherited from Sarah.
Sadie belongs to the name family of Sarah and carries its Hebrew meaning, ‘princess’. The form Sadie itself developed in English, so the meaning reaches it through a personal name rather than through an English word. The bright first vowel and neat ‘ie’ ending give it an easy, friendly feel. It may appeal to someone who likes the closeness of an affectionate form as the name they actually use. In English the opening rhymes with ‘say’, keeping the sound lighter than an ‘a’ read as in ‘sad’.
Etymology: Sadie developed as an English familiar form of Sarah, a name of Hebrew origin.
