About Odalis

Also appearing as Odalys, this name has two possible origins, one more favorable perhaps than the other.

Odalis for girls#9306 US

Used predominantly in Spanish speaking countries, and in the US, Odalis may come from the Germanic Odalia or Oda, meaning "wealth, fortune" or "fatherland, heritage". As such, it would be a relative of Otto and Ottilie, and follows the popular Spanish trend of adding a -ys or -is suffix to names (such as Idalys, Arielys, and Ailanys).

Other sources suggest however that it comes from the French word Odalisque, derived from the Ottoman Turkish odalık referring to an enslaved chambermaid, house servant, or a concubine which may be less appealing.

Used in Cuba, Colombia, Venezuela, the US, and Mexico, the name leans feminine but is also given to boys (most notably in the Dominican Republic).

Odalis for boys

While Odalis and Odalys are predominantly given to girls in the US, Cuba, Mexico, and Columbia, however it is used as a masculine name in the Dominican Republic and Venezuela.
