Odes

Meaning of Odes

Originating from ancient Greek mythology, the name Odes is a unique and strong choice for baby boys. It is derived from the name Odysseus, the legendary hero of Homer's epic poem, "The Odyssey." Odes carries connotations of bravery, intelligence, and resourcefulness. In both British English and American English, it is pronounced as OH-dz (/əʊdz/ or /oʊdz/). Although not very common in recent years, historical data from the United States shows that Odes was occasionally given to newborns throughout the 20th century. Its usage peaked in popularity during the 1950s when it ranked around 3000-4000 in terms of occurrence. For parents seeking a distinctive name with a rich mythological association, Odes may be an appealing choice for their little one.
