Best Answer

The proud and noble English surname of Hudson enjoys a rich and long history in Yorkshire, where they had held a family seat from very ancient times- some researchers say long before the arrival of Duke William at Hastings in 1066 A.D. The surname Hudson itself burst upon history's stage at a time when Anglo-Saxon tribes ruled all of Britain. It derives from the given, or baptismal, name "Hudd", which was actually a pet name for both "Richard" and "Hugh".
