History & Origin

Codee is an American respelling of Cody recorded from the mid-1980s, at the height of Cody's popularity for boys. The -ee ending gives a casual, modern look to a surname-name already known from the Old West.

It was always uncommon in this spelling, given to only a couple dozen boys a year around its early-1990s high, while standard Cody was very common. A boy named Codee then is in his thirties now.

Did you know? Cody, which Codee respells, took off partly on the frontier fame of Buffalo Bill Cody.
