Goldie is an English pet name taken from the precious metal, so it means "gold" or "golden one"; in Jewish families it is the English form of the Yiddish Golde or Golda. The actress Goldie Hawn is its best-known bearer. Goldie was popular in the late 19th century, vanished from the charts for most of the 20th, returned to the top 1000 in 2021 and reached number 621 in 2025, its best rank in generations.
