About Bodie

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, a recent year saw it rank in the US Top 300 and the England and Wales Top 500. By comparison, Bodhi appeared in the England and Wales Top 120, but just ten places ahead of Bodhi in the US, given to 1301 boys while Bodie was chosen for 1249.

Bodie is also given to girls, where it ranks #6160 in the US.

Pronounced BOH-dee.

As of October 2026, Bodie ranked #275 in US births in 2025 SSA, Nameberry popularity #943.
