About the name Hoda
Hoda belongs to the Muslim & Arabic and Persian tradition. Its roots are documented, even though its precise meaning is not recorded in the standard references — an honest gap we prefer to a confident guess.
In the United States, Hoda first appears in Social Security records in 1972. It climbed to its best-ever rank of #4172 in 1987, and in 2024 7 babies received the name — 508 in total since 1880. Those are the official counts, not estimates.
