Rodnie Origin and Meaning

The name Rodnie is a boy's name.

Rodnie is a masculine name that likely developed as a variation of Rodney, which comes from English origins meaning 'island near a clearing' or 'Hroda's island.' This friendly alternative spelling gives a slightly more casual and approachable feel to the traditional Rodney. While never achieving mainstream popularity, Rodnie saw occasional usage particularly in the mid-20th century. The name carries a warm, unpretentious quality with its '-ie' ending. Rodnie naturally lends itself to the nickname Rod. Though less common than Rodney, this variation maintains the same friendly, reliable character while offering a slightly more distinctive spelling option for parents seeking something familiar yet uncommon.
