Audean is an uncommon given name of English origin, derived from the Old French word 'audiance,' which means 'hearing' or 'audience.' The name was likely introduced during the Middle Ages as a result of Norman influence on English culture and language following the Norman Conquest in 1066. While it is not a particularly popular name today, it has been used sporadically throughout history, perhaps as a nod to its unique and historical origins.
"Audean's popularity peaked briefly in 1918 with 5 births, then resurged slightly in the 1920s before dropping off again by the 1930s."
