I know some Ryans from Tipperary have adopted this as a nickname because there are so many Ryans here.

Thank you. I am interested in the O'Meara family of Ballymacky.
I was wondering if Roady was a nickname for Rodger or Rodney or even for some female name like Rhoda. Have you ever heard it used in that way?

I have not heard it in that way. If you search for Ryan Roady/Rody on the net there may be more info.
Regards.
Tom.

I know of a Robert (one of at least three with the same surname in a townland) who worked repairing roads and was called 'Roadman Robert.'

Thanks, but do you know what Townland? According to baptismal records Roady or Rody or Roadi is abbreviated of Roldophus. It looks like a Latin name, but I believe it to be Celtic. It translate in our family to Roger.
If you receive this jann, I had a suspicion that was you.

I see it quite often, I am working on Armitage genealogy. What I was told was that it was a nickname for Roger/Rhody/Rody

Roady is a nickname for Rodolphus, as indicated on baptismal records from Ireland for relatives of mine who went by Roger/Roady/Rody.

Rhody is also an abbreviation of Roderick- It is quite common as a personal name in Tipperary.

I have never seen Roderick on any official documents, is this a legitimate name or could Roderick be short for something else? I think we may need to turn to the Irish for translation.
Thanks,
Ned

Roderic or Roderick is the anglicised version of Ruadhrí (Rory). Ruadhrí O Connor was a 12th century Irish king . I have come across a number of people named Roderic/Roderick and who use the abbreviated version Rody or Rhody.

Thank you for the clarification, I thought Rodrick sounded to much non Celtic, but then again so does Roldophus, which still puzzels me. Its origin apears Roman, and shows up in Dutch and English names, and one Irish Viscont. And Yet I found it on a number of Irish baptismal records during the 1860 & 70's. i know there was an Irish Bishop of Armagh with that name as well. Or maybe it to was anglicized. I think I would prefer Rory over Rody.
Thanks again.

Many Irish baptismal registers will have the name in Latin, which was the 'official' language of the Catholic Church. Very few people would have been known in everyday life by the Latin name on a baptismal cert.
