Modie is of American origin, derived from the Old English given name 'Maud' which means 'mighty'. It gained popularity during the Middle Ages and has since evolved into several variations, including Modie.
"The name Modie was quite popular at the turn of the century with 5 births recorded in both 1900 and 1903. There's a notable gap between 1903 and 1912 when only 6 births were registered, but it picks up again afterwards with several years seeing 5 births each. The total number of births over this period is 42."
