Messenger or enlightened one
Bodee is a modern phonetic spelling of the Sanskrit name Bodhi, which refers to the state of enlightenment or spiritual awakening in Buddhism. It is also occasionally used as a variant of the Germanic name Bode, meaning messenger. In the United States, this specific spelling is a contemporary creation, often chosen for its approachable, phonetic look.
