Thinking about the name
Cody
Irish origin
“Derived from the Irish surname Ó Codaigh, meaning 'descendant of Coda' (where Coda likely means 'helpful' or 'cushion'). Cody gained widespread popularity in the 1980s–90s as a given name, partly inspired by Buffalo Bill Cody and the rugged American frontier spirit. The name feels modern yet grounded, with a friendly, approachable quality that appeals across generations.”
