Cody

I'm Irish and Cody from Castlecomer, Kilkenny, Ireland, the birthplace of the name. The fact that Buffalo Bill Cody's grandparents came from Tipperary doesn't change that factoid. When the English first invaded Ireland 900 years ago, they still were Normans, or French speaking Vikings. The first Cody was Odo (old Norsk for Otto = rich) Archdeacon. In Gaelic or Irish, Archdeacon is impossible to pronounce, so his descendants were called Son of Odo or Mac Odo. Anglicization has turned that into Cody, the C being what's left of the Mac. There are many other Norman Irish names. We are the people, who became more Irish than the Irish. Slainte!

Cody is a last name, people call me Cody all the time and don't even know it's my last name. Comes from Mac Otto means "son of rich man".

The name Cody accually means "cushion".

I have a very good friend called Cody and she's a girl. It's short for Dakota.
