Sadie is a short form of the forename Sarah. There are two main types of such shortenings: they are convenient for writing, e.g. in lists; or they are essentially spoken pet-names, and thus informal. (See Conventional abbreviations for forenames.)
Short form | Long form | Informal or written | Other short forms | Remarks |
