YOUD is an English surname mostly found in Cheshire and Flintshire. Variants of the surname are Youde, Eaude and Yould, however Youds is not part of this group. The earliest record dates from 1427 and in 1562 the name appears in Little Budworth in Cheshire. ==Origin of the name== Currently little is known about the meaning or origin of this unusual and rare surname, it is not listed in any books of British surnames. This has led to theories of Huguenot, Flemish or Jewish roots which cannot be substantiated. Viking roots are a more likely possibility as the Wirral peninsula was colonised by Norwegian Vikings from 902 AD onwards and Viking settlements also existed further inland in West Cheshire. It is hoped that DNA profiling from suitable Youd descendants will prove or disprove this theory. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Youd」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
