- Bode
Origin:
German, YorubaMeaning:
"order, command; return"Description:
Bode is a short and sharp name that has been on and off the US charts since the mid-2000s. Similar to on-trend choices such as Brooks, Beau, Boone, Brody, and Bodhi, Bode suffers a little, perhaps because it might be read as the word "bode" , as in "that doesn't bode well", and because it has several acceptable pronunciations.

AkkadianMeaning:
"command of Aku"Description:
