Personal communication [CT2]
Notes:

Scottish and Irish pet name for Roderick [q.v.].

Note: Rody occurs far more frequently in some Irish Census returns than Roderick so should be considered a given name in its own right. [Source 1901 Census for Tipperary and Laois.]

Rody may also be a pet name for other forenames beginning with Rod-, e.g. Rodger and hence also Roger.
