Kodi is a gender-neutral name of Irish origin with an abundance of hopeful meanings. It is a modern form of the name Cody, which is Anglicized from the Irish surname Ó Cuidighthigh and possibly Mac Óda. Deriving from the title Cuidightheach, it means “descendant of Cuidightheach,” which in turn signifies “helper.” Meanwhile, Mac Óda was given to the “son of Odo,” who was destined to be prosperous, with the German meaning “wealth” or “fortune.” Kodi also has Indian roots, signifying “King Murugan”—a popular Hindu deity celebrated in Tamil-influenced communities. As their namesake suggests, baby Kodi will be a lucky little one who isn’t afraid to give back to those they love.
