Is Odelia a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Odelia has been recorded only for girls: SSA lists no boys with the name in 136 years of records (it lists a name only in years with 5 or more babies of a sex).
Girls and boys named Odelia: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Odelia, and how old are they?
1,400 alive in 2026, estimated
That is 49% of the 2,860 Americans ever recorded as Odelia. The median Odelia alive today is 25 years old; half are between 9 and 68.
The 2020 Census counted 1,396 people named Odelia (1,393 women and girls, 3 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 1,274 born in the U.S. The Census count is 10% above that prediction. Possible reasons: the Census counts people born abroad, whom SSA’s files leave out, and it records the name people give, which SSA may have recorded under another spelling or as part of a compound name.

An estimate, not a count. SSA’s files count people born in the United States who received a Social Security number, so anyone born abroad is not in them; before 1937 most people got a number as adults, and their survival is counted from that age.
Living estimate: SSA births carried forward with the survival rates in SSA’s cohort life tables (2024 Trustees Report) for each birth year and sex. How the estimate is made. Count: Census Bureau, first names in the 2020 Census (released April 14, 2026; names reported 100 or more times, with the Bureau’s disclosure-avoidance adjustment).

Where Odelia is more common than its national share predicts
Relative to its national share, Odelia is most over-represented in Louisiana: since 1910 it was given 4.1 times as often there as its national share each year would predict.
States: SSA state file, 1910-2025, published May 8, 2026; births count girls and boys together, and the rank is among girls’ names in the state in 2025. The file leaves out any state and year with fewer than 5 babies of the name, so small states are undercounted; each ratio compares the state’s births of Odelia with the births its national share predicts year by year, for states with at least 100 births of the name.
Names spelled alike
Of these 4 names spelled alike, given to 5,390 babies since 1880, Odelia is the most given (53% of them). In 2025 it was given to 56 of their 79 babies (71%), again the most given.
Spelled alike: names in the SSA national file with the same pattern of letters and sounds and at most two letters apart, and Wiktionary’s listed forms; births since 1880 and in 2025, and each name’s peak year, from the SSA national file, published May 8, 2026. Some are separate names, not spellings of one.
