Raudy is Germanic in Origin.

Raudy is a rare modern given name with multiple plausible sources. In many Spanish- and English-speaking communities it functions as a creative spelling of Rudy, the short form of Rudolph (Germanic Hrod + wulf, "fame" + "wolf") or its Spanish counterpart Rodolfo, giving Raudy the meaning "famous wolf." The spelling may also reflect phonetic influence from Raúl and from Caribbean Spanish orthography. A secondary path links it to a respelling of the English word-name Rowdy, associated with high-spirited or boisterous behavior.

Documented as a first name mainly since the late 20th century, Raudy remains uncommon and rarely appears on national popularity lists, though it is familiar in parts of Latin America and the Caribbean; baseball player Raudy Read offers a notable example.
