Oddie, of Scandinavian origin, is a unique and uncommon given name that adds an intriguing touch to any list of names. It is derived from the Old Norse word 'Oddi,' which means 'pointed' or 'sharp.' This name has a distinct and memorable sound, making it stand out among more traditional options.
The name Oddie experienced fluctuations in popularity throughout the century, with peaks occurring during World War I and again in the late 1940s to early 1950s. However, it seems the name never quite caught on, as there were only a handful of births each year after 1938 until 1975, totaling just 6 births over this period. Overall, Oddie was chosen for a total of 343 newborns between 1894 and 1975.
