Avudim

Avudim (Russian: Авуди́м) is an old and uncommon[1] Russian Christian male first name.[2] The name is possibly derived from the Greek word aoidimos, meaning praised in song,[2] or from Serbian Muslim phrase meaning Dima's father (a moniker referring to a married person).[3]

Its diminutive is Dima (Ди́ма).[1]

The patronymics derived from "Avudim" are "Авуди́мович" (Avudimovich; masculine) and "Авуди́мовна" (Avudimovna; feminine).[1]
