Kodie is a modern spelling variant of Cody, which itself originated as an anglicised form of the Irish surname Ó Cuidighthigh, meaning “descendant of Cuidightheach” – a personal name derived from *cuidigh*, “to help.” Though less common in Scotland than its more traditional counterparts, Kodie gained some traction from the 1990s onward, likely influenced by the Western-American trend that made Cody a popular given name. While no famous bearers of this specific spelling immediately spring to mind, the root name is well known through rodeo star Buffalo Bill Cody, after whom the Wyoming town of Cody is named. Kodie also functions as a unisex name, though in Scotland it has been recorded more frequently for boys. The -ie ending gives it a softer, slightly more distinct feel than the standard Cody.
