Etymology

Bodhi derives from Sanskrit बोधि (bodhi), meaning "awakening" or "enlightenment," referring to the tree under which Buddha attained enlightenment, while Bleu is French for "blue." The name combines Buddhist spiritual terminology with French color vocabulary, reflecting modern Western naming practices that blend Eastern philosophy with Western aesthetics.

This hybrid name is used primarily in Western contexts by parents seeking spiritually-influenced names; Bodhi alone has gained popularity in English-speaking countries since the early 2000s, though the combined "Bodhi-Bleu" form is contemporary and lacks significant historical precedent.
