Paidi

At a Glance: Name: Paidi – Meaning: nobleman, as the Irish pet form of Padraig/Patrick – Origin: Irish (hypocorism of Padraig); homograph with an unrelated Javanese name – Pronunciation: PAW-jee

---

Paidi shows up as the Irish pet form of Padraig, the root of the name Patrick, which is why you'll often see it defined as meaning "nobleman." That meaning, though, actually belongs to the accented spelling, Páidí, not to this unaccented one — the dictionary entry for "Paidi" as written here traces instead to a separate, unrelated Javanese name. So if the Irish nobleman meaning is what draws you to this name, the accent mark is doing a lot of the work.
