Jandi is English, French in Origin.
Jandi is a modern Korean given name derived from the native Korean noun 잔디 (jan-di), meaning "grass," "lawn," or "turf." As a nature name it suggests freshness, resilience, and steady growth. Unlike traditional Sino-Korean names built from hanja, Jandi belongs to the class of pure-Korean word names that rose in popularity from the late 20th century. The spelling Jan-di reflects standard romanization of the hyphenated syllables; both Jandi and Jan-di are used abroad. The character Geum Jan-di from the hit drama Boys Over Flowers helped spotlight the name internationally.
Usage remains uncommon but recognizable, especially for girls, though it can be unisex. Variants and respellings include Jandee and Jandy; related nicknames are Jan and Andi. Parents often pair Jandi with simple English middle names or choose it for its easy pronunciation and gentle imagery.
