Mandy (name)


Mandy can be used as a given name, a diminutive, or a nickname, for both female and male genders. It is often used as a diminutive of the female names Amanda and Miranda or as a given name in its own right. It is also used as a nickname for the male names Armand, Armando, Mandel or Emmanuel. Variants, for both male and female, include Mandi, Mandie and Manda.
Its usage as a popular female name can be traced back to at least the beginning of the 20th century, with the song "Mandy" by Irving Berlin in 1919, and the Joyce Lankester Brisley's children's books of Milly-Molly-Mandy in the 1920s. The pop songs "Mandy" by Barry Manilow and the Irish boyband Westlife and I'm Mandy Fly Me by 10CC speak to the resurgent popularity of the name in recent times.
