Detailed etymology (in Slovak)

Ženská podoba mena Rodan. Meno sa pravdepodobne spája so srbochorvátskym prídavným menom rodan vo význame „rodný“ alebo „príbuzný“ a so slovanským koreňom rod-, ktorý označuje rod, pôvod či narodenie. Vzhľadom na neistý výklad mužského mena Rodan nemožno túto etymológiu pokladať za úplne jednoznačnú.
