Are you trying to say: round, rod or road?
or are you saying rude
Today (2010) you spell this family name & village name as ROUD. It is now pronounced to rhyme with cloud / proud, although the original probably rhymed with rode.
In the 18th & 19th centuries it was usually spelled as ROWDE, although due to illiteracy & mis-spelling it appears in documents as ROWDE or RODE.
The family name ROUD first appears in pre-Norman times as the Anglo-Saxon HREOD - meaning a reed bed or muddy river bank.
The ROUD family lived in Rowde village (Wiltshire, England) from pre-Norman times until around 1500. In those days they were wealthy burghers, members of parliament & farmers. The collapse of the wool trade due to cheap Dutch imports led to their decline to agricultural labourers. They were based in Sherfield English village in Hampshire until the 1950s when they scattered around the British Empire.
