Odelis is in Origin.

Odelis is a modern feminine given name most common in Spanish-speaking Caribbean communities. It is widely treated as a variant or respelling of Odalis/Odalys, names popularized in the late 20th century and often traced to French "odalisque" (ultimately from Turkish), meaning "harem attendant" or "chambermaid." The form may also be influenced by Odelia: in Hebrew, Odelia means "I will praise God," and in medieval Germanic names the element od/odel denotes "wealth, heritage." The -is ending fits a productive Caribbean naming pattern.

Usage is sporadic but visible in Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, and among U.S. Hispanic families, with rarer appearances in Francophone areas as Odelis or Odelys. Related forms and variants include Odalis, Odalys, Odeliz, Odelise, Odelys, Odelia, and Odilia; short forms Odi, Dely, and Lisi occur. Depending on the etymology you prefer, Odelis can suggest praise or prosperity, though in practice it functions as a modern, melodic coinage.
