Taidi
Gender: Feminine
Origin: Estonian
Meaning: “snow white.”
(TYE-dee)
Cutsy and quirky, the name sounds more like a nickname than a full fledged formal name. The name is a legitimate Estonian feminine name, it comes directly from the Estonian word meaning “snow white.” I don’t believe its reference to the fairy tale, its more a descriptive name, describing the fairness of one’s skin. Its designated name day is September 9th.
