I have not heard of men with the name Rhoda ,but have heard of Rhodri,which is welsh.if the writing wasn't so good it could have been mis-spelt. Brenda

There used to be a american comedy called Rhoda, she was a woman. Ah the older comedys were the best. Debbie

Thanks for that info. Whats even more strange is that this family with the name Rhoda were born in Ireland in 1800s!

I've heard it used as a womans name before,was'nt there a Rhoda in 'I'm a celebrity get me out of here'. Perhaps its like Robin or Robyn - male or female!! Jude

Sounds welsh. One of my neighbours is called Rhoda (female) but some welsh names were used for both sexes. e.g Kenvyn.My sister-in-laws middle name. Which I believe is a mans name too. Sorry could't be more specific. Catherine

Is the name Rhoda a man or a womans name? As i have a relative from the past with this name. Although this person was married to a Anne. I've never heard of a man called by this name!!
