Not much available on that name. If you are referring to an Anglic name, it may be due to the fact that the original name was "Adair", Old Germanic (also called "Tuetonic") which means "Wealthy or Noble Spear". The origin of the name Odair, or more properly O'Dair, appears to be have come from a family dispute in Ireland. The original name Adair was changed to O'Dair when one of the family members (Protestant) decided to marry a Catholic. The information does not indicate which side changed their name, but it makes more sense to suppose that the person who married the Catholic decided to change it after becoming disgusted with the bigotry from the rest of the family. Classic Romeo and Juliet story and purely a guess. I have also seen it referred to as a possible deviation of the name "Odar". Several items found referring to this as Norse, but nothing definite. Possible meanings: "Otter" or "Thor" (Norse God of Thunder).
