The name Odell originated in the village of Odell in Bedfordshire, England.
The name has always been spelled Odell in England, where there are still many people with that name. It was also the only spelling of the name in North America until about 1850, when the alternative spelling of O'Dell started to appear.
1850 is about the time when large numbers of Irish started immigrating to the U.S., and many government officials, thinking the name was of Irish origin started spelling it O'Dell on official documents. Some Odells accepted this new spelling of the name, and this has resulted in the two spelling versions today.
While working on family trees, the O'Dell version should not be used on anyone born before 1850. For people born after 1850, research needs to be performed to determine which version of the name was used.
