The surname Codd originates from Ireland and is derived from the Gaelic/Irish word MacOda, meaning son of Odo or son of Otto. The family was primarily located in the Irish province of Leinster and more specifically in County Wexford.
The Codds were part of the MacMurrough royal dynasty, which ruled Leinster until the Anglo-Norman invasion in the 12th century. The Codds lost their lands and power after the invasion and were forced to blend in with the rest of the population. They adopted the surname Codd from MacOda as a means of survival and to signify their Irish roots in a time of upheaval and change.
Many Codds remained in Ireland, particularly in Wexford, while others emigrated to England, Canada, Australia, and the United States due to various socio-political reasons, including the Great Famine in the mid-19th century. Despite their migration, they maintained their cultural identity through their surname. The surname Codd, therefore, represents a rich history of royal ancestry, survival, migration, and cultural preservation.
