Bud is short for buddy, pal, friend-o, amigo, compadre, or whatever you want to call someone you're close with. It's like the casual nickname you give to your bestie when you're feeling all warm and fuzzy inside. So, next time you see your bud, give 'em a little nod and a wink to show you appreciate their friendship.

Answer 3

Bud is short for Donald, and William. More often, it's used for Donald. Bill is more common for William.

Bud is not short for Buddy. Buddy is just another version of the nickname bud.

Bud is used by many Irish-American families and comes from the nickname "Brud" which is short for brother. This was a popular nickname in the 1930's-1960's.

Bud is often used to distinguish between father and son who share the same first name--usually designated by "Sr." and "Jr." The junior is often nicknamed "Bud" to avoid using the first name that is common with the "Sr." This is particularly a tradition in the Midwest US. For example, the actor Marlon Brando, Jr. was referred to as "Bud" within his Nebraskan family to distinguish him from his father Marlon Brando, Sr., who was referred to as "Marlon". A fictional example is James Anderson, Jr., the son "Bud", in "Father Knows Best", a depiction of middle-class life in the Midwest.

Oh, dude, Bud is short for "Buddy." It's like when your friend Dave becomes Davo after a few too many beers. So, yeah, Bud is just the casual, laid-back version of Buddy.
