Jo Dee is in Origin.

Jo Dee is a modern compound given name, pronounced JO-dee, formed by pairing Jo, an English short form of Joseph, Josephine, Joanna, or Joan, with Dee, an English nickname derived from the initial D or from names such as Deirdre, Denise, Diana, and Dorothy. Jo ultimately traces to Hebrew roots: Joseph (Yosef, "He will add") and Johanna/Joan (from Yohanan, "Yahweh is gracious"). Dee functions chiefly as a familiar diminutive in English, though it also echoes the River Dee (from Latin Deva, "goddess") in British toponymy.

Use of Jo Dee reflects the mid-20th-century American fashion for double names, especially in the South, and gained pop-culture visibility through country singer Jo Dee Messina in the late 1990s. Variants and spellings include JoDee, Jo-Dee, Jodee, Jodi, Jodie, and Jody; the name is predominantly feminine but broadly approachable. A blended meaning often given is "gracious addition" or "God's gracious increase."
