Meaning & Origin

A diminutive of the female given name Judith.

Judi is a girl's baby name of Hebrew origin, a diminutive of Judith meaning 'woman of Judea' or 'praised' — from the same root as Judah.

Judi Dench, one of Britain's greatest living actresses, has made this spelling iconic. The shorter Judi feels more modern and punchy than the full Judith, carrying the same classic foundation with a livelier, more contemporary feel. With over 10,000 recorded U.S. births, it has solid historical presence.
