A Dictionary of English and Welsh Surnames (1896) by Charles Wareing Endell Bardsley

This name may possibly be taken in its literal meaning, though I am rather inclined to think it is a kind of clumsy translation of the Old French Prudhomme. See that name, infra.

Patronymica Britannica (1860) by Mark Antony Lower

Corrupted from Prudhomme (in H.R. Prodhomme, Prodomme, Prodome, &c. ) Roquefort renders preudom, preud 'homme, preudome, prodom, prodon, prudhome: "homme, sage et prudent, qui a de l'expérience et du savoir, prudens homo, et non probus dominus."

Ludus Patronymicus (1868) by Richard Stephen Charnock
