Aude, of Latin origin, translates to 'to hear'. It is derived from the verb 'audire', meaning 'to listen' or 'to hear'. This name was popular among early Christians and is believed to have been borne by a 3rd-century martyr named Saint Aude. The name Aude is often associated with the region of Occitanie in southern France, where it has been traditionally used.
"Only five babies were named Aude each year from 1994 onwards."
