Rhodes Family History
Rhodes Name Meaning
English (chiefly Yorkshire): topographic name for someone who lived
in a clearing in woodland (see Rode 3). This, the most common
form of the name, has been influenced in spelling by the English name
of the Greek island of Rhodes (Greek Rhodos), with which
there is no connection. There is no connection, either, with modern
English road (Old English rad ‘riding’), which was
not used to denote a thoroughfare until the 16th century.
