Joedi is English in Origin.

Joedi is a rare modern English given name, a creative respelling of Jodi/Jodie/Jody, which began as diminutives for several longer names. In masculine use, these nicknames often stem from Joseph (Hebrew Yosef, “he will add, increase”). In feminine use, they can contract Judith (“woman from Judea”) or Joanna/Joanne (“God is gracious”). Because of these multiple roots, Joedi is interpreted with any of those associated meanings, most commonly the Josephic “he will add” or the Johannine “God is gracious.”

As a given name, the Jodi/Jodie family rose in Anglophone countries in the mid-20th century, shifting from a boys’ nickname to a unisex, then primarily feminine, choice by the 1970s–80s. Joedi remains an uncommon variant that lends a distinctive look while keeping familiar sounds. Close variants and spellings include Jody, Jodie, Jodi, Jodee, Jodey, and Joedy; short forms include Jo and Dee.
