Etymology
Rhodes (as in Cecil John Rhodes) is an English family name that comes from an old word for a 'clearing' or open place in the woods. A helpful way to remember this is to think the surname once told where a family lived, and today the name is known because of Cecil Rhodes and the Rhodes Scholarship.
