Codey is in Origin.

Codey is a modern spelling of Cody, ultimately from the Irish surname O Cuidighthigh, meaning "descendant of Cuidightheach," a byname translated as "helpful" or "assistant." Some Irish families bearing the related form Coady trace to Mac Oda, linked to the Anglo-Norman personal name Odo (from Germanic od/wealth), so a minority of bearers connect the name with "wealth."

As a given name, Cody moved from surname to first-name status in the United States in the late 19th century, boosted by the fame of frontiersman and showman William "Buffalo Bill" Cody. The streamlined variant Codey emerged later and saw modest popularity across the English-speaking world in the 1980s-2000s. Usage is largely masculine but not exclusively so. Common variants include Cody (standard), Kody, Codie, Kodie, Codee, and the surname Coady; feminine-leaning spellings are often Codie or Kodie. The name today carries a straightforward, upbeat sense of helpfulness and approachability.
