Codie

Girl / Boy name · 126 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Codie: 126 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to both boys and girls, peaking at 10 births in 2005.

Codie first emerged as a modern spelling of Cody, an Irish surname turned given name. Originating from the Gaelic Ó Cuidighthigh, meaning "descendant of Cuidightheach," which itself translates to "helpful" or "one who helps," the name carries a warm, service-minded quality. The most famous bearer is William "Buffalo Bill" Cody, the American showman and scout who captured the imagination of the Wild West, though he spells his name differently. There are no direct place connections named after a Codie, but the root shares no notable geographic ties. As a variant, it gained modern popularity as an alternative to the more traditional Cody, and it has been used for both boys and girls in Scotland, reflecting a trend toward gender-neutral names.
