Ody

Meaning of Ody

Ody is a unisex name that can be traced back to ancient Greek mythology. It is often considered a diminutive form of the name Odysseus, the legendary hero of Homer's epic poem, "The Odyssey." The name Ody has both British and American English pronunciations, which are pronounced as OH-dee (/əʊˈdiː/ in British English and /oʊˈdi/ in American English). Despite its origins in Greek mythology, Ody has gained popularity as a modern baby name. In recent years, it has been given to a small number of newborns in the United States, with fluctuations in occurrence and rank over time.
