Alodye is in Origin.

Alodye is a rare, medieval-tinged variant of Alodia/Alodie, the root of modern French Élodie. The name descends from Visigothic-Germanic elements, usually analyzed as alja/ali "other, foreign" plus aud/od "wealth, prosperity," yielding meanings such as "foreign wealth" or more broadly "riches" and "blessing." Some scholars also connect the first element to ala "all," producing the sense "all-wealthy."

Usage traces to the cult of the 9th-century Iberian martyr St. Alodia (venerated with Nunilo), from which the name spread into medieval Spain and southern France; in French it evolved to Élodie and later entered English as Elodie. Alodye surfaces sporadically in medieval and early-modern records as a spelling variant beside Alodie and Alodia, and today reads as a distinctive twist on Elodie. Related forms and diminutives include Alodia, Alodie, Élodie/Elodie, Elody, Lodie, Lody, and Alo.
