Jowdea is a modern English given name, likely a creative respelling or blend influenced by Judea/Judaea and Jodie/Jodi. By association with Judea (from Hebrew Yehudah), it carries the sense of “praised, thankful,” while its link to Jodie ties it to the Judith/Joseph naming stream in English.

Documented traditional use is scant; the name appears only in very recent years and remains exceptionally rare, chosen for its distinctive look while keeping familiar sounds. Variants and near-forms include Jodea, Jowdeah, Jowdia, Jodeah, Judea/Judaea, and Jodia; diminutives include Jo, Jodi/Jodie, and Dea. As a given name it reads unisex in theory but tends to be used more for girls in English-speaking contexts.
