Jodi is in Origin.

Jodi is an English given name, chiefly feminine, that developed as a short form of several Jo- names, especially Judith and Joseph. From Judith (Hebrew Yehudit) it conveys “woman of Judea/Jewish woman,” connected to the Judah root meaning “praise.” Through Joseph (Hebrew Yosef) it can also mean “He will add, increase.” It is sometimes used as a pet form of Joan/Joanna or Jordan.

As an independent name, Jodi spread in the mid-20th-century Anglophone world, peaking for girls in the 1960s–70s in the United States before fading. The -i spelling is predominantly feminine; Jody tends to be unisex, and Jodie is common in Britain and Australia. Related variants and elaborations include Jody, Jodie, Jodee, Jodene, and Jodine; short forms include Jo and Jode.
