Aude is a girl’s name of French origin, meaning ‘prosperous.’ In the medieval French tales known as the Charlemagne romances, Aude La Belle was the beloved of Roland. Aude is also the name of a department in southern France, called after the river Aude. Situated between the Mediterranean Sea and the Pyrenees Mountains, and home to the medieval citadel of Carcassonne, this beautiful place is a worthy namesake. Needless to say, baby Aude will be too!
