Cody (given name)

Cody is a surname and unisex given name. It may also be spelled Coady, Coddy, Codee, Codi, Codie, Codey, Kodi, Kodie, Kody, Coty, or Koty.

According to A Dictionary of First Names, Cody is "a transferred use of the Irish surname, an Anglicized form of Gaelic O'Cuidighthigh 'descendant of Cuidightheach' (originally a byname for a helpful person), or of Mac Óda 'son of Óda' (a personal name of uncertain origin)."[1] Its use in the United States is partially due to it being the surname of Buffalo Bill, also known as William Frederick Cody.[1]
