It may be a diminutive of names like Odysseus, connecting it to the legendary Greek hero known for his journey and cleverness. Alternatively, it could be a shortened form of Otto or Otis, Germanic names meaning 'wealth' or 'prosperous.' In some cases, Ody might also serve as a nickname for modern names like Odin.

Its simplicity makes it easy to pronounce and spell while still standing out among more common short male names.
