Kodran is in Origin.

Kodran is a rare modern masculine name with no single established etymology, likely created in recent decades. It reads as a K-led twist on the Irish Odhrán/Odran (from odhar, "dun, pale green," plus the diminutive -án, yielding the sense "little dun-colored/greenish one"), while also echoing Koda, widely popularized in English from Dakota/Lakota koda, "friend; ally." As a blended or re-spelled form, it carries both a Celtic hue and pan-North American appeal without being tied to one language tradition.

Documented use is sparse and contemporary, most visible in fantasy literature, gaming handles, and modern baby-name forums. Variant spellings include Codran, Kodren, and Kodrin; related names are Odhrán/Odran and Koda. Nicknames might be Kod/Kode, Kody, or Ran. Parents may read its meaning along their preferred line - either "little dun/greenish one" via the Irish source or "friend, companion" via Dakota.
