Unisex Names That Switched From Boy to Girl

Jodie as a masculine name is a variant of Joseph, with Hebrew origins meaning 'God will increase' or 'God will add'. While historically a diminutive of Joseph, Jodie has become more commonly associated as a feminine name in recent decades. As a male name, Jodie remains relatively uncommon, offering a soft yet distinctive choice for boys. The name gained some recognition through male namesakes like American actor Jodie Foster (born Alicia Christian Foster), though her prominence actually contributed to the name shifting more toward feminine usage. For parents seeking an uncommon masculine name with a gentle sound and biblical roots, Jodie presents a unique option with historical precedent.
