Roddey is an uncommon yet appealing given name of American origin, derived from the Germanic elements 'Hrod' meaning 'fame' and 'gar' meaning 'spear'. It was popularized in the United States during the 20th century but remains relatively rare today.
Roddey is quite rare as it was only given to six girls each in 1945 and again in 1957, resulting in a total of twelve babies named Roddey over those two years.
