[Surname] Re: Prudowskaja
It’s probably related to Prudowsky https://forebears.io/surnames/prudowsky. The suffix -owsky, and therefore -owskaja, is common in Russian surnames, so I’ve focused on the meaning of Prud. In Russian, it means pond.
Hope this helped; my grandfather emigrated from Poland to England and also changed his surname, so I had similar trouble.
