History of National Cody Day

Cody is a short and easy-to-pronounce name that has made waves in America for decades. Yes, this is a popular baby boy name mainly used in Christian nations. Even though there is no bibliographical meaning behind the name, it has a western ring to it. Hence, the name is a rare find amongst people residing in South Asia. The catchy boy’s name has its origins in Gaelic and translates into ‘cushion.’

Well, if you were looking for a deep meaning behind the name, it’s time we burst your bubble! But fret not — while the name might have an intriguing meaning, it sounds very masculine. No wonder the Social Security Administration data stated it was the 312th most popular boys’ name in the U.S. in 2021. Data also reveals that 19,875 babies were named Cody in 1992. However, the popularity of the name has seemingly declined since it was in the top 25 in the 1990s.
