Jodi-Anne

Girl name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Jodi-Anne: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 1996.

Jodi-Anne brings together two names with deep roots: Jodi, a modern diminutive of Joseph or Judith—both ultimately from Hebrew, meaning 'God will increase' or 'woman of Judea'—and Anne, the French form of Hannah, meaning 'grace'. While no single famous bearer dominates, the name has a contemporary, melodic feel, popular in Scotland as a double-barrelled choice that blends familiarity with elegance. The spelling Jodi (rather than Jody) adds a distinctive twist, and Anne has been a royal favourite, from Saint Anne to several British queens. Though no specific place shares the name's etymology, the compound style reflects a Scottish tradition of pairing names for a unique identity, offering parents a balance of tradition and modern flair.
