Judd Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
1 like the French Jud, for Jude, q.v.
2 prob. also used as a pet form of Jordan, q.v.
Henry Judde.—Hundred Rolls
(English) Descendant of Jude or Judah (confession); descendant of Jud, a pet form of Jordan (flowing down).
Possibly Jude, the Christian name. The Dutch Jode, a Jew, also suggests itself; and if this be so, Judson must be equivalent to "Jew's sou," Judkin to "the little Jew," &c.
(Hebrew.) From Juda, praise, confession, and signifies the confessor of God. Jode or Jood, in the Dutch, means Israelite, a Jew; Jute, a native of Jutland.
From the Frisian, Udo, Ude; from the Dutch, Joode; from the Flemish, Jude; from the Danish, Jud; in the Domesday Book, Udi, Judichel, Judhell; a personal name.
Hampshire is at present the home of the Judds, but there are a few of the name in the adjacent county of Wiltshire. In the 13th century Jud was a name well represented in Oxfordshire and Lincolnshire (H. R.).
The Judds are now better represented in Hampshire; but Judd is an old Wiltshire name. John Judd was mayor of Salisbury in 1424 (E.), and the name is still to be found in that city. One of the early Wiltshire Judds in the 16th century was Lord Mayor of London (A.).
