Name Meaning
North German (Düe): from the ancient Germanic personal name Dudo, which is of uncertain derivation. In some cases it is said to be a pet form of the compound name Liudolf (composed of Old Saxon liud ‘people, tribe’ + wolf ‘wolf’); in other cases it may be a derivative of ancient Germanic theud ‘people, race’.
Danish: from due ‘pigeon, dove’, applied as a metonymic occupational name for a dove keeper or as a nickname.
French: variant of Duhe and, in North America, an altered form of this. Compare Duet 1.
