What is the meaning of the name Judi ?

The baby name Judi is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈdʒuːdi/ (JOO-dee).

Judi is in Origin.

Judi is a modern English spelling of Judy, the familiar short form of Judith. Judith comes from Hebrew Yehudit, meaning “woman of Judea” or “Jewish woman,” ultimately tied to Yehudah (“Judah,” from a root meaning “praise/thank”). Because of this etymology, the name is also interpreted as “praised” or “thankful.”

Used in medieval Jewish and Christian circles via biblical references - Esau’s wife in Genesis and the heroic widow of the deuterocanonical Book of Judith - the name flourished in English from the 18th century and soared mid‑20th century with the popularity of Judy Garland. The streamlined spelling Judi gained currency, especially in Britain, through actress Judi Dench, and peaked between the 1940s and 1960s. Close variants include Judy, Judie, and the formal Judith; international forms include Hebrew Yehudit/Yehudis, Catalan and Hungarian Judit, Czech/Slovak Judita, Polish Judyta, Italian Giuditta, and Portuguese Judite.
