Rhoda (female)

Variants:Rodina (F)
Derivative(s):Rhonda (F)
Masculine form:Roderick (M)
   
Source(s): The Oxford Names Companion, OUP
"Scottish Forenames" - Donald Whyte, FGH, FSG
Notes:

English from Greek, either from the vocabulary word for "rose" or derived from the ethnic form "woman from Rhodes", the island's name having the same vocabulary source; NT Acts 12:13-14.

The Oxford Names Companion suggest that, in the Scottish Highlands, Rhoda is a feminine form of Roderick [q.v.].
