Bodie Origin and Meaning

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

Bodie has been in the US Top 1000 since 2014 and may be an attempt to anglicize either the popular Sanskrit name Bodhi or the Germanic name Bode. Drawing inspiration from Jodie and Brodie, it could help to make the pronunciation more obvious to English speakers and it avoids using a concept drawn from Buddhism that has made some people question the use of Bodhi.

Currently on the rise in the UK and the US, it was given to more than 800 babies in 2023.
