Surface Forms

Morphology

Goldie = gold (semi-transparent) = gold + ie

Form is clearly 'gold' + diminutive/affectional suffix '-ie', but as a personal name the meaning is a name rather than the literal 'little gold' so it is not fully transparent for learners.

Etymology

Goldie is a female name made from the word gold plus the friendly ending -ie, like in Charlie or Annie. It suggests something 'golden' — bright, warm, or valuable, so it often works as a sweet, informal nickname.
