The meaning of Jodi
Jodi is a feminine variant of Jody, says Behind the Name. Jody began as a diminutive of Josephine, Joseph, Joanna and other names beginning with Jo. As a girls’ name, Behind the Name adds, it probably got a boost from the similar-sounding Judy, which was at the height of its American popularity when Jody was rising.
Nicknames for Jodi
Behind the Name lists Jo, Jodie, Jody, Joey, Josie and Posy among the variants. Jo is the obvious short form, and Jodie and Jody are the spellings most people will try first.

Who it’s for and ways to use it
This is a notebook for every kind of Jodi: the student, the list-maker, the diary keeper, the busy mom. Its 160 lined pages and 6" x 9" format suit daily journaling, study, meal plans, goals or gratitude notes. Plain lines mean no rules about how to use it. Her name on the front makes it easy to spot on a crowded desk.
Why a name on the cover matters
Notebooks tend to multiply on desks and in drawers. One with Jodi’s name on the front is instantly hers: easy to spot, harder to “borrow”, and more personal than a plain cover. For children especially, seeing their own name on something makes it special and encourages them to actually use it.
