my name
The name Hedy as a whole name comes from greece- as you can see also in the y and means pleasant and has nothing to do with the german name Hedwig and the nickname Hedi.Have a nice day!

Hedy is also a nn for HedwigI am sure many American girls used the American-looking nn Hedy for Hedwig, since Hedwig probably was mispronounced a lot in English (it is not pronounced as "head-wig"). Also, many nn are used as formal names too (cf. Kate, Jack, Sadie, Jamie etc.)Since I don't know Greek, I can't say anything about a Greek name Hedy. "But it’s all right now.
