Rodas is in Origin.

Rodas is a multicultural name rooted in Iberia and the eastern Mediterranean. In Spanish and Portuguese it is a longstanding surname from roda “wheel,” ultimately Latin rota - an occupational label for a wheelwright or someone living by a mill wheel; it can also be toponymic, since Rodas is the Spanish name of Rhodes. As a given name, it is a modern, surname-inspired choice.

In Ethiopian and Eritrean Amharic/Tigrinya use, Rodas functions chiefly as a feminine given name and is often treated as a local form of Rhoda, the New Testament name from Greek rhódon “rose.” Contemporary records show it as a stylish unisex option in the diaspora. Variants and cognates include Rhoda, Roda, Rhodes (English surname form), and de Rodas; short forms Ro and Rodi occur. The meaning depends on origin: “wheel”/“wheelwright” in Iberian contexts, or “rose” in the biblical‑Greek line.
