About the name
Bodhi is Sanskrit — "awakening, enlightenment" — the state the Buddha attained beneath the bodhi tree, making this possibly the most spiritually ambitious name in circulation.
Bodhi has climbed into the American top 300, carried by surf culture, yoga culture, and parents comfortable naming a child for the goal of all sentient beings.
Two soft syllables (BOH-dee) that wear their theology lightly. It pairs well with grounded middles (Bodhi James, Bodhi Alexander). On our vibe map it is Boho's crown jewel with Celestial clearance and Cultural Fusion roots — enlightenment, casually worn.
