Over time, this name has evolved and transformed into various spellings such as Cody, Coady, and Kody. Its linguistic history can be traced back several centuries, revealing its enduring presence in English-speaking countries.

      In history, the name Codey appears sparingly, predominantly associated with individuals of English or Irish descent. The name gained some prominence during the 19th century, particularly in the United States, as English and Irish immigrants arrived seeking new opportunities.
