What is the meaning of the name Odila ?

The baby name Odila is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced oh-DEE-lah (IPA: /oʊˈdiːlə/; German: /oˈdiːla/).

Odila is in Origin.

Odila is a feminine given name rooted in Old High German, built on the Proto-Germanic element aud meaning wealth, fortune, or heritage, with the diminutive suffix -ila. It stands alongside Oda and Odilia and conveys the sense of little wealth or inherited fortune, often glossed simply as prosperous or rich in heritage.

Documented in early medieval Frankish and Alemannic territories, the name survives through the cult of Saint Odilia (Odile) of Alsace (7th–8th century), venerated across the Rhineland and eastern France. Usage waned later but enjoyed Catholic revivals in the 19th century; today it is rare, while the related French form Odile remains familiar. Historical and cross-linguistic variants include Odilia (Latinized), Odile (French), Otilia (Spanish/Romanian), Otília (Portuguese/Hungarian), and Ottilia/Ottilie (German, Scandinavian, English). Related forms are Oda and Odette; note that Odelia may appear similar but often has a separate Hebrew etymology.
