About Jodee
Jodee is a feminine name that developed as a phonetic spelling variation of Jody or Jodie, which themselves originated as diminutive forms of names like Josephine, Joan, or Judith. The distinctive spelling with double 'e' emerged in the mid-20th century when creative name spellings became fashionable. Jodee enjoyed modest popularity in the United States during the 1950s-1970s but has since declined in usage. It carries a cheerful, friendly quality with its bouncy sound and casual feel. The name maintains an unpretentious, approachable character and retains a somewhat retro charm. Jodee might appeal to parents who appreciate vintage names or are honoring a relative named Jo, Joseph, or Josephine.
Jodee is also given to boys.
Pronounced joh-DEE.
