All over the world, Yody (Yody 
) is a rare gender-neutral forename. The forename Yody is characteristic of Latin America and the Caribbean, particularly Panama, where it is a rare feminine name, the Dominican Republic, where it is a rare masculine name, and Peru, where it is a rare largely feminine, but infrequently masculine name. In absolute terms, it is the most numerous in Indonesia, Egypt, and Peru. Very seldom, Yody is the last name as well as the forename.
