Greetings-My research has led to the origin
of Coody as being in Cornwall, original spelling there being Coode. Variant spellings
appear to be Coodey, Coode, Cude, Caudy, Cody, Coda and etc... The name may have
Latin links by being borrowed by the Gaelic
speaking people. The name relates to Law
or the wooden tablets documents were kept on,
it is also a derogatory term in Latin.
I feel than John Coode of Maryland who arrived from Cornwall in the 1670's is the
first Coody in the New World. His father
was a lawyer and I believe a Anglican Priest.
