I think this is a very pretty name. Surprised to see its rating is only around 50%; it's beautiful, simple, and slides off the tongue well.

Hi - I discovered this site researching the background of my name. I always knew my mother named me from the Bible Act 12:13 and the meaning was a servant of the Lord!
I claim all the meaning behind my name and I Thank God for his gift. I have always loved roses and to come to understand that my name means "Rose" is amazing Grace! I serve to God's glory and learning to stay humble as a child.
In my journey on this earth as I grow and develop to live up to the name that God has created for me is an honor. I seek to Please my personal Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!
So glad to have found this platform. I love my name, Rhoda is an amazing character.

Rhoda Lavinia Goodell (1839 – 1880), known as Lavinia Goodell, was an American attorney. She was the first woman licensed to practice law in Wisconsin and the first woman admitted to the Supreme Court of Wisconsin. In 1880, she also became the first to litigate (and win) an appeal to the Supreme Court of Wisconsin. She was a strong proponent of women's suffrage, abolition, temperance, and prison reform. She was also the first woman to run for city attorney.

The name Rhoda makes me think of the song "Go tell Aunt Rhody that her old gray goose is dead." For that reason, I've always thought of Rhoda as the name of a farmer's wife. Maybe kind of an old woman name, but not in a bad way necessarily.

I think this a good alternative to the name Rose or Rosa. Both of those names are very common so this is good if you don't want a common name.

This name is such a pretty and uncommon name. I'm surprised that there aren't many personal comments telling how LOVELY this name is! It's a name of the Greek Bible and that IS pretty amazing!

Given that the original Greek spelling of this name is Ῥόδη (Rhode), it could very well be that this name is actually derived from the Greek noun ῥοδῆ (rhode) meaning "rose-bush":

I... LIKE it, and associate it with the character, of course. But it does sound like "rode a (insert surname.)" xD; And it's very similar to Rhonda, which I like a LOT.
