Odo

Odo is an ancient Germanic masculine name with rich historical connections. The more modern form is the new fashionable Otto.

Most famously associated with Odo of Bayeux, the medieval bishop who commissioned the famous Bayeux Tapestry, and Saint Odo of Cluny, a significant 10th-century monastic reformer, Odo has maintained a presence throughout European history but remains uncommon in modern usage.

In contemporary culture, the name gained some recognition through the character Odo in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. But the English word "odd" and the pronunciation of this form as odd-o make it unlikely that this form will rise along with Otto.

Pronounced O-do.
