Audin is a rare given name with deep Germanic roots. In French it appears as a surname; related forms include Audoin and Audouin, from the medieval Audoenus (St. Ouen). Etymologists link these to the Proto‑Germanic elements aud “wealth, prosperity” or ald “old, wise” combined with win “friend,” yielding senses such as “wealthy friend” or “old/wise friend.” A Scandinavian parallel is Old Norse Auðun (modern Audun), built on auð “riches” plus an affectionate second element, reinforcing themes of prosperity and devotion.
