Johdee is English in Origin.

Johdee is a rare modern English spelling of Jody/Jodi/Jodie, a unisex pet form that developed either as Jo + Dee (with Jo from Joseph, Josephine, or Joanna) or directly from the nickname Jody. As a diminutive, its meaning traces to Hebrew roots: from Joseph (Yosef, “he will add, increase”) or from Judith (Yehudit, “woman of Judea,” often interpreted as “praised”). The inserted h in Johdee is stylistic, signaling the long “o” sound while giving the name a distinctive look.

Usage of Jody/Jodi/Jodie rose sharply in the United States and other English‑speaking countries in the 1960s–70s - especially for girls - before declining; Johdee has remained very uncommon. Variant forms and relatives include Jody, Jodie, Jodi, Jodee, Jodey, Jo-Dee, and JoDee, with longer links to Joseph, Josephine, Joanna, Joan, and Judith. Johdee offers a breezy, contemporary feel anchored to classic biblical heritage.
