What does Cody mean?
/ˈkoʊdi/2 syllablesOrigin: a surname

Cody comes from an Irish surname that crossed over into use as a first name, particularly in the United States. Its exact original meaning is uncertain, but the name is widely familiar through Buffalo Bill Cody, the 19th-century frontier scout and showman whose Wild West exhibitions made it well known.

Cody has a rugged, easygoing sound, evoking wide-open spaces and outdoor adventure. It suits an active, confident pet who seems built for the trail.
