Modi is a distinctive male name with roots in both Hebrew and Hindi languages, offering a rich cultural tapestry. In Hebrew, Modi means "modest" or "humble," embodying virtues that many parents might hope to instill in their child. The pronunciation in Hebrew is MOH-dee (/ˈmoʊdi/). In Hindi, the name is notably borne by Narendra Modi, the Prime Minister of India, which may influence its popularity among those of Indian heritage. It is pronounced similarly in Hindi as MOH-dee (/moːdi/). Although not very common, the name has been used sparingly in the United States with only 5 newborns named Modi in 2023, ranking it at 12190.
