Cody is a unisex given name.[1] Spellings include Codi, Codie, Coedee, Kodi, Kodie, and Kody. Other variants are Coady and Codey.

According to A Dictionary of First Names, Cody is "a transferred use of the Irish surname, an Anglicized form of Gaelic O'Cuidighthigh meaning 'descendant of Cuidightheach' (originally a byname for a helpful person), or of Mac Óda 'son of Óda' (a personal name of uncertain origin)".[2]

In the United States, the name Cody is often associated with the west, specifically California.[3][4] It is also popular in other former frontier countries such as Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.
