Rhoda

Comments (Meaning / History Only)

Given that the original Greek spelling of this name is Ῥόδη (Rhode), it could very well be that this name is actually derived from the Greek noun ῥοδῆ (rhode) meaning "rose-bush":- http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/morph?l=r(odh%3D&la=greek&can=r(odh%3D (in English)

Rhoda may actually mean 'from Rhodes' which was named for its roses, instead of meaning 'rose.'
