Joedey is a modern English given name, most plausibly a creative respelling of Jody/Jodie, which began as a diminutive of Joseph and, less commonly, Judith.

In historical terms, the base forms Jody and Jodie rose sharply in the English-speaking world in the mid-20th century - used for both boys and girls - before tapering off. Joedey itself remains uncommon, surfacing as a personalized twist in recent records and social media.
