Where did you find this? Was it a male or female name? Any context would help.

A female character in a book written by Tom Robbins: Jitterbug Perfume. I liked the name. That's all I know of the name.

The name is clearly ancient Greek, it's the feminine form of Kudros. Check it out in www.lgpn.ox.ac.uk

And here is the meaning of it: 'Kudros'- glorious, eminent, nobleman.
