Elodie.

  1. Elodie

    Girl

    Elodie, Élodie and Alodia. English Elodie comes from French Élodie, which goes back to the older name Alodia. French Catholic naming tradition also records the unaccented spelling Elodie.

    Different explanations for Alodia. One explanation of Alodia points to a possible Visigothic name. A French saints’ reference instead connects it with Latin alodis, “property”. Neither account gives Elodie a certain one-word meaning.

    The possible Visigothic explanation rests on uncertain name elements.
