Odele is Germanic in Origin.
Odele is a rare feminine given name with layered roots. One stream derives from the Franco-Germanic Odile/Odilia family, from Old High German uodal/odal 'ancestral heritage, property,' yielding the sense of 'heritage' or 'homestead.' Another path treats Odele as a streamlined form of Hebrew Odelia/Odelya (Odelyah), meaning 'I will thank/praise God.' In modern English it's occasionally reinterpreted through Greek ode 'song,' though that link is secondary.
The name appears sporadically in English records from the late 19th century, rising with interest in French saints' names and later as a chic vintage revival. Variants and cognates include Odile, Odilia, Odelia, Odelya, Odelie, Odelle, Odella, and related Adele/Adèle. Nicknames range from Odie and Dell to Elle. Overall meanings span 'heritage, homestead' or, via the Hebrew route, a devotional 'I will praise God.'
