Odo is Germanic in Origin.
Odo is a short Germanic name deriving from the element od-/aud- meaning “wealth, fortune, prosperity.” In Old High German it appears alongside Otto; medieval Latin records it as Odo or Odonis. Cross-linguistic variants include French Odon and Eudes, Spanish Odón, Italian Oddo, and the related German Udo and Otto; feminine cognates are Oda and Odette. Diminutive and related forms include Odilo, Odet, and Odilon.
The name circulated widely across early medieval Europe through nobility and the church. Notable bearers include Saint Odo of Cluny (10th-century reformer) and Odo, Bishop of Bayeux, half-brother of William the Conqueror and patron of the Bayeux Tapestry, which helped carry the name into Norman England. Usage declined after the Middle Ages but survives in historical and literary contexts; modern revivals frame Odo as a crisp, antique choice meaning “wealth” or “prosperity,” pronounced OH-doh.
