Oddah as a Baby Name. Meaning and Origin of Oddah

What is the meaning of the name Oddah ?

The baby name Oddah is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced OD-dah (approx. /ˈɔdɑ/).

Oddah is Norse, Scandinavian in Origin.

Oddah is a rare modern variant tied to Germanic naming traditions. One line comes from Old Norse oddr “point, tip (of a blade),” seen in the Norwegian given name Odd and the place-name Odda; the Anglo‑Saxon male name Odda is recorded in 11th‑century England (notably Ealdorman Odda of Deerhurst). The final -h is an English respelling that signals the open vowel and distinguishes it from the adjective odd.

As a given name, Oddah carries the sense of “spear‑point” or “edge.” Another branch of the Od-/Ot‑ names (Oda, Odo, Otto) derives from Proto‑Germanic aud‑ “wealth, prosperity,” and some fold Oddah into that family, giving an alternate reading “riches.” Usage today is uncommon in English‑speaking countries but familiar in Scandinavia and Germany. Variants and cognates include Odda, Odd, Oda (usually feminine), Odo, Otto; diminutives may be Odie or Oda. Historically masculine, Oddah can be considered unisex in modern practice.
