Origins Available: English,
French
The Hude name was coined by the
Anglo-Saxon tribes of Britain. Hude was originally a name given to someone who worked as a maker of hoods. The surname Hude is derived from the Old English words
hod, hud, hood, and
hodde, which all come from the Old English word
hod, which means
hood. Occasionally, Hude may be a
local surname derived from the settlement of Hood in Rattery in Devon.
Early Origins of the Hude family
The surname Hude was first found in
Devon where they held a
family seat from very ancient times, some say well before the
Norman Conquest and the arrival of Duke William at Hastings in 1066 A.D.

Migration of the Hude family to the New World and Oceana
Many English families tired of political and religious strife left Britain for the new colonies in North America. Although the trip itself offered no relief - conditions on the ships were extremely cramped, and many travelers arrived diseased, starving, and destitute - these immigrants believed the opportunities that awaited them were worth the risks. Once in the colonies, many of the families did indeed prosper and, in turn, made significant contributions to the culture and economies of the growing colonies. An inquiry into the early roots of North American families has revealed a number of immigrants bearing the name Hude or a variant listed above:
