feminine · English (Rare) origin
Jodene is an English feminine name formed as a blend or elaborated spelling of Jodi, itself a variant of Judy and Judith, which derives from the Hebrew Yehudit, meaning woman of Judea or, more broadly, praised. The suffix -ene, common in mid-twentieth-century English name coinage, lends the name a melodic quality and distinguishes it from simpler forms. Related names include Jodi, Jodie, Judy, and Judith.
