Help[Opinions] Re: Elodie doesn't mean marshy white blossoms. nt
in reply to a message by Siri
Just wondering what your source is for knowing it doesn't mean that. Are you going by the definitions on this site or do you have another source as well. Thanks for any information. And do you have any idea why a Greek meaning for Elodie would be given in some sources, if none exists? Thanks.

Thank you for your help. I'll check on the name meaning board. I agree about the slew of misinformation about names.

Yes.
The majority of baby-name books and baby-name sites are incorrect. This is something that is known by most people interested in the meanings of names. Second, I only use this site for meanings. It has a few mistakes, but nothing compared to a baby-name book or a baby-name site. I've yet to pick up a baby-name book and not find three or four errors in five minutes. Third, Elodie in no way seems Greek to me. If you're truly interested in finding out the "correct" meaning of the name, then I'd check over at the facts board. There you have a slew of etymologists, including one who is Greek. Having gone to school and what not, they're great with deciphering name meanings.
