Odis is in Origin.
Odis is a modern American variant of Otis, an English surname turned given name. The name ultimately derives from the Germanic element aud- meaning “wealth, prosperity.” Through medieval English forms Odo and Ote, Otis developed; Odis reflects a phonetic spelling favored in the U.S. As a given name, Odis carries the sense of “prosperity” or “riches.” Related names include Otto (German), Odo (medieval/Latinized), and feminine Oda and Odette; diminutive Odie appears in English.
In U.S. records, Odis surfaces in the late 1800s, peaked 1910s–1930s, especially in the South and Appalachia, then faded mid-century. While rarer than Otis today, it remains recognizable thanks to Otis’s cultural presence - from elevator pioneer Elisha Otis to soul singer Otis Redding - and periodic revivals of vintage names. Common variants include Otis and Odis; short forms include Odie. The core meaning centers on good fortune and prosperity.
