Meaning & origin
Khodi first appeared on U.S. birth records in 2014, a time when creative spellings of established names were gaining traction. It reached its peak popularity in 2017, after which its usage has gradually declined; by 2025, it was given to roughly 1 in every 229,610 newborns. The name has not been concentrated in any particular state, reflecting its sparse but nationwide use. Khodi remains a rare and largely unisex choice, appealing to parents seeking a distinctive variant of more common names like Cody or Kodi.
Khodi is a modern coinage, likely a respelling or variant of names like Cody or Kodi. Cody itself derives from an Irish surname Ó Cuidighthigh, meaning 'descendant of Cuidightheach' (helpful), but Khodi appears as a contemporary creative spelling without deep historical roots in that tradition. Its usage in the United States began only in the 2010s.
