What does the name Odarka mean?

Odarka (Одарка) is regarded as a variant of Dariya (Дарія), a Ukrainian form of the name Daria, which is considered the feminine counterpart of Darius. This name has its roots in the ancient Persian Darayauš (𐎭𐎠𐎼𐎹𐎢𐏁), which is a short form of Darayavaush or Darayavauš (𐎭𐎠𐎼𐎹𐎺𐎢𐏁). Translated, the name means 'the holder of goodness' and can also be interpreted as 'to hold onto goodness.' In some interpretations, it is associated with 'the powerful' and 'the protector.'
