above is where I saw "unselfish" as the meaning in the first names for boys "u" section. still not sure if it actually applies to "Udo".
since posting yesterday, I have also found "Udolf" in two books with the meaning stated in both as "prosperous wolf". this is neat because I named my new puppy "Udo" last week, and every time I tell people her name the first question is "what does Udo mean" - hence, my post. any further confirmation/general information you might provide on "Udo" will be greatly appreciated. thanks, Bruce

Score one for our Mike C...
Hey Bruce,
I went to a reputable German namesite for an objective confirmation, and it stated (in German) that Udo was an Old German [language] variant of Ulrich. It broke down the origin of Ulrich, and sho' nuff, Udoal means "prosperous".
So next time, who ya gonna believe: some harmless Brit namesite or our glorious Canadian webmaster with 9,000 carefully researched names and a cool mom?
Later,
- Da.

Da, thank you for your input regarding Udo and for keeping score. I made no assumption as to the accuracy of the information found regarding Udo on Mike C's site. I simply did not know. posting on his message board, looking for further information on the name, only confirms my view that he is an authority on the subject. kudos to Mike C on the resource he has provided for us all! please keep up the good work. thanks, Bruce
