Yodit is an Ethiopian given name of Amharic origin, meaning "joy". It is predominantly used for girls and is considered quite rare outside Ethiopia. The name has gained some international recognition due to its use by notable individuals such as Yodit Tewolde, a renowned Ethiopian singer-songwriter. However, it remains relatively unfamiliar in many parts of the world, contributing to its uniqueness and distinctiveness.
"Yodit was quite popular as a baby girl name in the late 80s and early 90s, with peaks in 1988 and 1993, but overall usage has been relatively consistent over those years."
