Goldie's Notebook is a lined journal with one name on the cover, hers. The name sits in flowing script above a soft pink watercolor apple blossom design.
Goldie has two roots, says Behind the Name. In English it began as a nickname for someone with blond hair, from the word gold. It is also a form of the Yiddish Golda, meaning “gold”, the name of Tevye’s wife in the musical Fiddler on the Roof (1964) and of the Israeli prime minister Golda Meir. Either way, it shines.
Behind the Name treats Goldie as a variant of Golda, and Goldie is already a cozy nickname in its own right. Gold and Goldy are playful extras.
Goldie Hawn, born November 21, 1945, is an American actress and singer. Wikipedia says she rose to fame on the NBC sketch show Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In (1968 to 1970), won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for Cactus Flower (1969), and was nominated for Best Actress for Private Benjamin (1980), playing a woman who enlists in the army.
Goldie was at its best around 1900. US Social Security data has it in the top 200 from the 1880s to the 1910s, highest at 125th in the 1900s, with more than 18,300 American girls named Goldie over those decades. Behind the Name has it 621st for US girls and 451st in England and Wales in 2025.
Golda Meir was born Golda Mabovitch. Wikipedia says she was born in Kiev on May 3, 1898, moved with her family to the United States in 1906, and trained as a teacher at the Milwaukee State Normal School. She went on to serve as prime minister of Israel from 1969 to 1974, the country’s first and so far only female head of government.
This is a notebook for every kind of Goldie: the student, the list-maker, the diary keeper, the busy mom. Its 160 lined pages and 6" x 9" format suit daily journaling, study, meal plans, goals or gratitude notes. Plain lines mean no rules about how to use it. Her name on the front makes it easy to spot on a crowded desk.
Notebooks tend to multiply on desks and in drawers. One with Goldie’s name on the front is instantly hers: easy to spot, harder to “borrow”, and more personal than a plain cover. For children especially, seeing their own name on something makes it special and encourages them to actually use it.
How big is Goldie’s Notebook? The notebook measures 6 x 9 inches (roughly 15 x 23 cm) and has 160 lined pages.
