Odell as a feminine name represents a distinctive crossover from what is traditionally used as a masculine name. It has Old English origins, derived from "wad" meaning woad (a plant used for blue dye) and "hall," literally meaning "woad hill." Some linguistic historians also connect it to Anglo-Norman roots. While Odell has been more commonly used for boys throughout history, its adoption as a female name illustrates the ongoing trend of gender-neutral naming. As a feminine name, Odell carries a strong, independent quality with vintage appeal. It remains relatively rare for girls, making it an uncommon choice that stands out. The name possesses a certain dignified quality combined with rustic charm that appeals to parents looking for something distinctive yet grounded in tradition.
