Bohdi

Boy name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Bohdi: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 3 births in 2025.

Bohdi is a modern spelling of Bodhi, a Sanskrit word meaning “awakening” or “enlightenment” – a term central to Buddhism, where the Bodhi tree sheltered the Buddha as he attained enlightenment. The name has gained popularity in English-speaking countries, including Scotland, as a fresh, spiritual choice. While few notable bearers use this exact spelling, the variant Bodhi appears on actor Bodhi Elfman and the lead character in the film *Point Break*. There are no direct place connections, though the Bodhi tree itself is a revered site in Bodh Gaya, India. A further note: the name saw a notable surge in Scotland from the 2010s
