a female given name, also the title character of a classic 1970s TV show 'Rhoda.'
From Greek 'rhodon' meaning rose. The name literally means 'of the rose' or 'rose-like.' Popular in English-speaking countries, especially after the successful television series.
Rhoda Morgenstern, the character, was groundbreaking—she was a Jewish, unmarried, working woman in the 1970s who was the hero of her own story. The name itself became associated with independence and wit because of how that character carried it on screen.
