Bow-dee.

Bhodi is short for Bhodisattva. It’s a “hip” surfer/So. Cal. thing to name your kid.

In Mahayana Buddhism, bodhisattva is the Sanskrit term for anyone who, motivated by great compassion, has generated bodhicitta, which is a spontaneous wish to attain buddhahood for the benefit of all sentient beings.
