History & Origin
Auda draws on the Germanic and Norse 'aud,' meaning wealth or fortune, and it belongs with the medieval feminine Aude found in old French and Norse tradition. In America it surfaced as a short, old-world girl's name in the early twentieth century.
It was consistently rare, given to only about fifteen girls a year at its peak around 1916 and largely gone by the nineteen-forties. A girl named Auda then would belong to a great-grandparent's generation today.
