Bodi

Bodi can be a modern spelling of Bodhi, the Sanskrit term for awakening or enlightenment. In this route, its meaning comes from a word with a significant place in Buddhist tradition. The shorter written form keeps the familiar sound while omitting the h used in the conventional transliteration.

Bodi can also occur as a family nickname connected with longer names in other languages, so the Bodhi explanation depends on the naming intention. For parents choosing it for the spiritual association, learning about the original term gives the name a fuller background. Bodi is already compact enough to use in full, and its spelling makes a useful comparison with both Bodhi and the separate form Bodie.
