Bodee Origin and Meaning

The name Bodee is a boy's name meaning "order, command; enlightenment, awakening; return".

Cute but cool with its double vowel ending, Bodee likely gained attention due to the popularity of the spiritual nature name Bodhi and the Scottish surname Brody. It began rising in the US in the 2010s and in 2024 it was given to nearly 60 babies.

A name with a variation of origins, it could come from the aforementioned Bodhi, which means "enlightenment" in Sanskrit and is associated with the Bodhi Tree, where the spiritual teacher Buddha is said to have attained enlightenment. Alternatively, it comes from Bode, which is both a commanding German name and a Yoruban name meaning "return", however, it could also be considered an elaboration or nickname for Bo, Beau, or Boden.
