Goldie

גּוֹלְדִי

• Gender: Female
• Origin: Jew-ish
• Meaning: gold

• Goldie started out as the sparklier, more playful cousin of the traditional Yiddish name Golda, and somewhere along the way it developed a personality all its own. Goldie Hawn put this name on the Hollywood map decades ago, proving it could be both glamorous and irresistibly fun. Buoyed by pop culture charm and a string of celebrity associations, it has shaken off any old-fashioned dust and emerged as one of the trendiest vintage revivals around.

  Everything old really does become gold again. Goldie sparkles with personality, sounds adorable on a toddler, and ages into something warm and magnetic. It bridges nostalgic Ashkenazi roots with the kind of modern cool that makes other parents take notice — no wonder it keeps climbing the charts.
