      The name Odeda has its origins in Hebrew, a Semitic language that was spoken by the Jewish people. In Hebrew, Odeda means to encourage. The name is derived from the Hebrew word oda, which means to support or to strengthen. Odeda, therefore, conveys a sense of inspiring and motivating others.

      The name Odeda can be found in various historical and biblical texts. In the Old Testament of the Bible, specifically in the book of 2 Chronicles, Odeda is mentioned as a prophetess during the reign of King Ahaz in the 8th century BC. She encouraged and motivated the people to return to their religious practices and to seek guidance from God.
