Hud is Arabic in Origin.
Hud carries two distinct lineages. In Arabic (Hūd, هود), it is the name of a prophet in the Qur'an who preached to the people of 'Ad; the name is commonly linked to the root h-d-y, evoking 'guidance' and right direction. It appears across the Muslim world as a concise, weighty prophetic choice, with the related feminine Huda ('guidance').
In English, Hud descends from Middle English Hudde/Hudd, a medieval pet form of Hugh (from Old High German hug, 'heart, mind, spirit'). That short form produced the surname Hudson ('son of Hud'), and Hud survives today both as an independent given name and as a clipped form of Hudson. Records of Hud/Hudde appear in 13th–14th-century rolls; contemporary usage has risen with the fashion for brisk, one-syllable names. Variant spellings: Hūd, Hudd, Hudde; related names: Hugh, Hugo, Hudson, Huda.
