Woodey Origin and Meaning

The name Woodey is a boy's name.

Woodey is a masculine name of English origin, representing a variant spelling of Woody. Derived from the Old English 'wudu' meaning 'forest' or 'wood,' it emerged as a surname for people who lived near or worked in wooded areas before transitioning to occasional use as a first name. This nature-inspired name evokes images of forests and woodland settings, carrying an earthy, rustic charm. Often used as a nickname for Woodrow, Elwood, or Woodson, Woodey as a standalone name has a friendly, approachable quality with a touch of nostalgic Americana. The unique spelling with an 'e' gives it a slightly more formal appearance than the more common Woody while maintaining its warm, down-to-earth character.
