Släkthistoria för Pudge
Pudge Vad efternamn betyder
perhaps related to the adjective pudgy ‘short and thick chubby’ although this is not recorded before 1788 and the noun pudge is even later (see OED ); both are probably related to an unrecorded Middle English *pudi ‘swollen obese’ (compare Modern English poddy). See Puddy.
