Throughout the world, جودين (Gaudin 
, Godden 
, جودين) is quite a rare principally masculine, but very infrequently female forename. The first name جودين is characteristic of Sub-Saharan Africa, particularly Cameroon, where it is a rare boy's name, Tanzania, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Not in comparison with a country's population, the name is most common in India, Tanzania, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Much more prevalently, جودين is the last name as well as the forename.
