Oder is of German origin, derived from the Old High German word 'Otmar', which means 'wealth' or 'fame'. It's a name that has been used historically but is less common today. In Scandinavia, particularly in Norway and Sweden, Oder has been used as a given name, often spelling it with an 'e' at the end like 'Öder'.
The name Oder is not a common one in the United States, with only five babies given this name in 1915. This is the total number of births recorded that year for the name Oder.
