Meaning & Origins
Transferred use of the Irish surname, an Anglicized form of Gaelic Ó Cuidighthigh ‘descendant of Cuidightheach’ (originally a byname for a helpful person), or of Mac Óda ‘son of Óda’ (a personal name of uncertain origin). Use as a given name in the United States especially has been at least in part inspired by William Frederick Cody (1846–1917), better known as ‘Buffalo Bill’, the showman of the Wild West.

English and Scottish: occupational name for a tailor, from Old French tailleur (Late Latin taliator, from taliare ‘to cut’). The surname is extremely common in Britain and Ireland, and its numbers have been swelled by its adoption as an Americanized form of the numerous equivalent European names, most of which are also very common among Ashkenazic Jews, for example Schneider, Szabó, and Portnov.
