Meaning & History
Probably a feminine form of Udo 1; cf. other feminine forms Uta, Ute, and Oda. These names are all ultimately from the Germanic element aud meaning "wealth, riches" or, by extension, "fortune, prosperity" (cf. Old Norse Auðr, Auða and Old English Eada, all descendants of Proto-Germanic *audaz "wealth, riches; goods, possessions").
