In Islamic tradition, Ahmadi is considered a variant or a diminutive form of the name Ahmad, which holds significant importance as it was one of the names given to the Prophet Muhammad.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Ahmadi can be found in the writings of the renowned Islamic scholar and theologian, Al-Ghazali (1058-1111 CE). He mentioned an individual named Ahmadi in his works, suggesting the name's usage during that time period.
