Meaning & History
Germanic name, possibly a feminine form of Odo (see OTTO). Alternatively, it may derived from the Germanic element odal meaning "fatherland". Saint Odilia (or Odila) was an 8th-century nun who is considered the patron saint of Alsace. She was apparently born blind but gained sight when she was baptized.
