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!! |

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 |

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 |

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

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

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 |
