Hi, Don.
The Cody surname certainly does seem to be derived from very old Norman origin but how long do you have to live in Ireland for a derivitive of an old Norman name to become an Irish name?? :)
Also, I guess it depends on what site your using for research but this site states that BB was of Co. Tipperary origin. As for my branch of the Cody family, I remember my father used to tell us we were from the Kilkenny part of Ireland.
This is what I found at

CODY, Archdeacon CODD
Originally all Codys were Archdeacons, the patronymic Mac Oda assumed by that hibernicized Norman family in the course of time superseded it. Now Cody is a numerous surname and Archdeacon rare. The name Cody,(in Irish Mac Ó Oda) derived from Odo le Ercedekne, whose family had settled in Co. Kilkenny at the beginning of the thirteenth century. Prominent in the history of that county until the final conquest of Ireland by England in the seventeenth century. The Omiond Deeds and the mediaeval ecclesiastical records have a many references to them as Lercedekne and later as Archdeken and Archdeacon. Archdeacon was often described as alias Mac0do, Mac Óde, MacCood, MacCoda or MacCody. Archdeacon survived quite extensively until the eighteenth century, even later some notable people have borne it: Nicholas Archdeacon was Bishop of Kilmacduagh and Kilfenora from 1800 to 1824, Mat~hew Archdeacon (c. 1800-1853) poet and novelist, and Joseph Archdeacon a leading Fenian!
and I.R.B. man in Liverpool in the 1860s.
Archdeacon was the surname used by the families which settled in France after the Jacobite collapse: one became and remained leading merchants at Nantes, while the descendants of Edmond Archdeacon, who went to Dunkirk and attained high rank in the French navy, are still a family of importance there.
In the 1659 Petty's "census" both Archdekin and Cody were listed among the principal Irish names, the former in the Co. Tipperary and the latter in the Baronies of Galmoy, Gowran, Iverk and Ida (Co. Kilkenny) and in the city of Kilkenny, and also in Co. Leix. The Tipperary Hearth Money Rolls name twenty-two families of Cody and three of Archdeacon. There were also twenty-two of Cuddihy, which is thought was a synonym of Cody though in modern Irish it is given as Ó Cuidighthigh:
One of the name to attain fame was William Frederick Cody (184~-1917) known as Buffalo Bill was of Co. Tipperary origin.
In the Elizabethan Fiants Codd as well as Cody and Coddy is used as a synonym of Archdekin. The Codds are a distinct family. The first in Ireland is said to have come over with Fitzstephen in 1169 and built Castletowncarne in the barony of Forth. Since, the Codds have long been closely associated with Co. Wexford: in the Elizabethan and Cromwellian wars they were on the English side but from the Williamite time on they have been Catholic and nationalist.

John Cody, age 11 and born in Alabama, is listed in the 1850 census for Nueces county, Texas.
I am not related to this family, just passing on this information. I was looking through census for somebody else and noticed a few names that were from elsewhere and wanted to share this information with the list.
The link for the census page is listed below.

Hi Don--I haven't done much additional research. My husband's Cody family derives from John Cody who died after 1821 in Rathangan, Wexford Cty. None of his direct descendants match Mathew. My husbands ancestors immigrated to Prince Edward Island around 1820. His g-g-g-grandpa acquired land through father-in-law Roderick Morrison estate in 1831. (This land was in Darnley.)
There could be a cousin/uncle type connection. Wexford was I believe the most populated county for the Cody's in the 1800s. Now whether they were all related, I honestly don't know.
Sorry I couldn't be much more help.
Good luck! -- Melissa

Melissa, my Cody family comes from Wexford also. My grandfather was born in Enniscorthy in 1861, son of Mathew and Eliza, who came to the USA in 1868 into NYC. Any connections?
P.S. The post on Archdeacon and Mac Odo are correct. The origin of the name was Norman. There is also a French branch "Codie". This is the family that Buffalo Bill Cody decended from. He was French not Irish
