History & Origin
Oddie is a pet form linked to the Germanic element aud or od, 'wealth' and 'fortune,' shared by Otto and Odo, and it also exists as an English surname. Written with the cozy -ie ending, it reads as an affectionate name that may look back to either the old root or a family surname.
It was never common, given to only around fifteen boys a year even at its peak in the late nineteen-tens, and it stayed a rarity. A boy named Oddie then would be a great-grandfather today.
