Khodi is a unique and distinctive name of Persian origin. The name is derived from the Persian word "khoda," which means "God." It is often used as a boy's name in Iran and other countries with significant Persian-speaking populations.
The name Khodi has a rich history that dates back centuries. In Persia, it was traditionally given to boys born on Thursdays, as Thursday is dedicated to the planet Jupiter, which is associated with the god Mithra in Zoroastrianism. However, today, the name can be given to children of either gender regardless of their birth day.
In recent years, Khodi has gained popularity beyond its traditional Persian-speaking communities. People are drawn to its unique sound and its significant meaning. It also lends itself well to various nicknames such as Kody or Khody, further adding to its versatility.
Despite its growing popularity, Khodi remains a relatively uncommon name outside of Iran. This rarity can make the name stand out even more, making it an excellent choice for parents looking for something unique and meaningful for their child.
The name Khodi experienced significant fluctuations in popularity over the past decade, with a notable peak of 14 births in 2017. However, it has since seen a decline, with only 5 births recorded in both 2023 and the most recent year available (2022). Overall, there were a total of 79 babies named Khodi between 2014 and 2023.
