What is the meaning of the name Jodie ?

The baby name Jodie is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced JOH-dee (IPA: /ˈdʒoʊdi/).

Jodie is English in Origin.

Jodie is an English given name, a modern -ie spelling of Jody, used as a diminutive for several names. Most commonly it shortens Judith (Hebrew Yehudit, “woman from Judea,” ultimately from Yehudah, “praised/thanksgiving”), but it also arises from Joseph/Josephine (Hebrew Yosef, “he will add”) and from Joan/Joanna (from Hebrew Yohanan, “Yahweh is gracious”). The -ie ending signals a familiar, often feminine form in British and American usage.

As an independent name, Jodie appears in records from the early 20th century, becoming widespread in the 1950s–1980s across the US, UK, and Australasia. Early bearers included men, especially under the spelling Jody; over time Jodie skewed strongly female. Variants and related forms include Jody, Jodi, Jodee, and hyphenations like Jodie-Ann; cognate nicknames include Jo, Judy, Josie, and Jude. Today it reads friendly and mid-century vintage yet remains internationally familiar.
