Liddy

Liddy is an English diminutive form of Lydia, which derives from the ancient Greek Lydia, itself taken from the name of the region of Lydia in western Asia Minor. The regional name is of uncertain pre-Greek origin, though it was associated in antiquity with a wealthy and culturally influential kingdom famous for its king Croesus. Liddy functions as both a familiar nickname and an independent given name, sharing this role with the variants Liddie and Lyddie.
