Odeta Pronunciation
Odeta is pronounced o-DE-tah (/ɔˈdɛta/).
What Odeta means
Where Odeta comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
Odeta traces back to Greek, and the meaning attached to it is plain: wealthy. The sense points at abundance, at a life with enough in it, more than at counted coin. Polish keeps it close in zamożna, meaning well-off.
Odeta stays rare in Poland. A teacher reading a class register meets one, then meets no other for years. That scarcity does the name a favour. It arrives without a crowd of associations to shake off, so the girl who holds it fills it herself.
The calendar still gives her a fixed day. Odeta celebrates imieniny on 8 July, a date she can point to on any Polish wall calendar. The Greek root says wealthy, the Polish gloss says zamożna, and the name-day says 8 July.

Odeta appears 1 time in the Polish name day calendar, never as a main name. The first of these dates is 8 July.
