Odetah is Albanian in Origin.

Odetah is a modern feminine form most plausibly built on the Odette/Odetta/Odeta family, ultimately from the Old High German element uod/ot, meaning wealth, fortune. The pathway runs through medieval French: Odet (from Odo/Otto) produced the diminutive Odette, later traveling into English and other languages. In Albanian, the cognate Odeta is well established - likely reinforced by the French name - so Odetah reads as a contemporary, embellished spelling with the fashionable -ah ending while retaining the sense of prosperity.

Use of the root appears from the Middle Ages via saints and nobles named Odo/Odon/Odet; the ballet Swan Lake popularized Odette in the 19th century, and American folk legend Odetta lent mid-20th-century visibility to the line. Variants and relatives include Odette, Odetta, Odeta, Oda, and masculine Otto, Odo, Odet, Odon. Nicknames might be Etta or Odie. Overall meaning: wealth, prosperity; fortunate one.
