Comments (Meaning / History Only)

To be a little bit more precise: this name is derived from Georgian ბედი (bedi) meaning "fate" (combined with either a diminutive suffix or a suffix meant to indicate the gender of the name). Also compare Georgian ბედისწერა (bedists'era), which also means "fate".This can easily be checked in dictionaries or on-line sources such as Wiktionary:http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E1%83%91%E1%83%94%E1%83%93%E1%83%98#Georgian (bedi)http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E1%83%91%E1%83%94%E1%83%93%E1%83%98%E1%83%A1%E1%83%AC%E1%83%94%E1%83%A0%E1%83%90 (bedists'era). [noted -ed]
I suppose the information was not yet available when I wrote the above comment (which was 7 years ago!), but -is(a) is actually the ending from the genitive case. In other words: this name is actually derived from Georgian ბედის (bedis) meaning "of fate". [noted -ed]- see the declension table for ბედი (bedi): https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E1%83%91%E1%83%94%E1%83%93%E1%83%98#Declension (in English)I guess you could say that the name is intended to mean "a child of fate", perhaps in the sense of a child that was initially not expected by its parents but ultimately destined to be born.For more information, please see:- https://imya.com/name/48087 (in Russian)

- Bedisa meaning "it's fate": https://web.archive.org/web/20130122113737/http://www.open.ge/art/Georgian_names.htm (in English; the author of this list speaks English as a second language and I think they actually meant to say "its' fate", as in: the fate of the child)
Never encountered this name before, but believe it should be written as ბედისა in Georgian.
