Aud

Aud is a fascinating little moniker with roots in many languages. First, Aud is a short form for Auda, meaning "prosperous" in Old French. Interestingly, it has a similar meaning of "prosperity," "fortune," "riches," and "wealth" in Old Norse. Aud may be a diminutive of the Old English name Etheidreda, meaning "noble strength." It's shared with 7th century Saint Etheldreda, a Queen of Northumbria. Lastly, this feminine name can be a fashionable nod to Hollywood darling Audrey Hepburn. Your little one is destined to be both prosperous and effortlessly chic, just like the legendary Audrey herself!
