Jody

Diminutive of Joan and Judith

Jody Origin and Meaning

The name Jody is a girl's name.

One of the cute and bouncy nicknames so popular in the 1960s and 70s, but that hasn't made a comeback in the way Eames chairs and miniskirts have. Think of it as one of the original but now old-school unisex names starting with J, ala Jamie and Jessie.
