My “Archaeological Atlas of the World” by Thames and Hudson shows Grunhof-Tesperhude as an old Bronze Age site (above).
The Bronze Age reached the Neolithic settlements and nomadic cultures of Western Europe C.3000-2000 BC


In 1986, Sir Cole Buchanan, was researching names (for a magazine). So I wrote to him and part of his letter says “Then I found an old record of a minor Frisian migration in 1428, in which was listed one Hindrik Van der hude (sic.). While my Old Frisian is not good, I take this to be a dweller among the heather”.

There is a lady named Ajit Hude on the web who is looking for information on the Hude name. She wrote: “I was born in Pune, Maharashtra,India. We found only ourselves as Hude name in India, so I wonder from where the Hude name begins”.
Ajit’s explanation on Hude's meaning was "the place or area where livestock feed and are looked after".

Michael Hobbie from Germany wrote:
“The german meaning of Hude really is Ajit's explanation. Phil and I have been in ths "Hasbruch"a forest with some 1000 year old oaks. Hude-forests are forest with
mighty oaks. There's more distance between the trees than usual, so these can grow better and build larger crowns, which means more fruits. The animals (cows or pigs) eat the fruits on the little trees”

Writings from Georges Hude about the Origin of Hude, suggests the name comes from the German word "Hilde"
