Dodi is of Arabic origin, meaning 'loved one'. It's a unisex name, often used for boys, but can also be given to girls. The name gained international recognition when it was borne by Dodi Fayed, a film producer who tragically died in 1997 alongside his partner Diana, Princess of Wales.
Dodi is quite an uncommon name, with only five recorded births in the year 1997 worldwide. This means that those born with this name in that particular year are part of a small group sharing their unique moniker.
