Codie
Codie Origin and Meaning
Codie is a feminine name that originated as a spelling variation of Cody, though it's used for both genders. Traditionally, Cody derives from the Irish surname Ó Cuidighthigh, meaning "helpful" or "son of Cuidightheach." As a given name, it gained popularity in the United States partially due to the legendary American figure Buffalo Bill Cody. The feminine spelling Codie emerged as parents sought to feminize the traditionally masculine name. This spelling variant gained modest popularity in the 1980s and 1990s. Codie has a friendly, approachable quality with a slightly tomboyish character. The name balances familiarity with distinction through its spelling, making it appealing to parents who want a recognized name with a personalized touch.
