Bodhi

Meaning of Bodhi

Bodhi bursts onto the tongue like a sunrise over the Ganges—bright, warm, and impossible to ignore. Drawn straight from Sanskrit, it means “awakening” or “enlightenment,” the very insight the Buddha found beneath the legendary Bodhi tree, so this little syllable carries the sparkle of spiritual epiphany in its roots. In modern storytelling, parents are flocking to Bodhi faster than monks to morning meditation; since tip-toeing onto the U.S. charts in the late ’70s, it’s climbed with yogic agility, now dancing around the mid-200s in national rankings. The name feels breezy yet grounded—like sandalwood on the summer wind—blending ancient wisdom with surf-board cool, making it the perfect badge for a boy destined to chase big ideas and bigger adventures.
