History & Origin

Codee reflects the crossover of Cody to girls in the late twentieth century, dressed with an -ee ending. It stayed rare in this form and reached a modest high in the late nineteen-eighties.

It was never common, given to only about twenty girls a year at its peak, so it read as a fresh, tomboyish choice. A girl named Codee at that high would be in her late thirties today. The -ee spelling nudges the Irish surname toward the friendly girls' names of its era.

Did you know? Cody began as an Irish surname and long read as a boys' name of the American West, so Codee marks the moment parents began giving the sound to daughters with a softer spelling.
