Meaning & Origin
A unisex given name.
Codi is a girl's and boy's baby name of Irish origin, a feminine spelling of Cody, from the Irish Gaelic Mac Óda or Ó Cuidighthigh, meaning 'helpful' or 'descendant of the helpful one.'
The 'i' ending transforms the traditionally masculine Cody into something more distinctly feminine. Codi has been used for girls since the 1980s, fitting naturally alongside Tami, Shari, and Jodi — that generation of short, friendly names that feel warm and approachable without any unnecessary complexity.
