Heide
Germanic origin
“A streamlined form of Heidi, this name draws from the German word 'Heid,' referring to open moorland or heath. Heide has a spare, modern elegance while maintaining strong Germanic roots, evoking both natural beauty and a sense of openness. It's particularly popular in German-speaking regions and works well across multiple languages.”
