Rhodas Origin and Meaning

The name Rhodas is a boy's name.

Rhodas is an uncommon masculine variation of the feminine name Rhoda, which has Greek origins meaning "rose" or "from Rhodes." While Rhoda appears in the New Testament as a servant girl in the Acts of the Apostles, the masculine Rhodas form is exceedingly rare. This gender shift represents a modern adaptation, similar to how some traditionally feminine names have been reimagined as masculine options. The name carries botanical associations through its connection to the rose flower, symbolizing beauty and passion. The addition of the final 's' gives the name a distinctive Greek or Latin masculine quality. Parents choosing Rhodas likely appreciate its classical roots, unusual nature, and subtle floral connection while seeking a name that stands apart from common masculine options.
