It's spelled Heidi. It's a nickname for Adelheid, which means "noble heath" in German. (Heath is an area like a moor; it's where heathers grow). Adelheid is the German equivalent of Adelaide.
I know all this because my name is Heidi (and I've never liked it)

It's the German form of our name Heather.
Heid is the German word for a heath.
Heather is a plant which is commonly found in heathlands.
However, the German name for the plant is Heidekraut.
