A female given name, most famously associated with the Swiss literary character Heidi from the novel by Johanna Spyri.
German name derived from 'Adelheid,' combining 'adal' (noble) and 'heid' (kind or nature); Johanna Spyri's 1881 novel 'Heidi' made this name famous worldwide, and it became particularly popular in English-speaking countries.
Heidi became a global phenomenon through children's literature—the novel has been translated into nearly every language and adapted into countless films and TV shows, making it one of literature's most successful marketing campaigns for a name!
