Mandy is a nickname or a given name. It is either used as a short form (hypocorism) of the female names Amanda or Miranda, or 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 nickname 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.
