Rhodes is a locational surname, with other spellings Rhoades, Rhoads, Roads, Roades, and Rodes, all deriving from the Old English ''"rod"'', meaning "a clearing in the woods", or from one of a number of locations from this word. Topographical features provided obvious and convenient means of identification in the small communities of the Middle Ages, giving rise to various surnames. Locational surnames arose when former inhabitants of a place moved to another town or area and were identified by the name of their birthplace.〔(Rhodes ) at surnamedb.com〕 Notable people with this surname include: ==A–D== *Alex Rhodes (cyclist) (born 1984), female Australian racing cyclist *Alex Rhodes (footballer), English footballer *Alexander de Rhodes, French Jesuit missionary *Alexis Rhodes, fictional character in ''Yu-Gi-Oh!
