Globally, ウデ (Edet 
, Ude 
, Wude 
) is a widespread unisex forename. The given name ウデ is habitual in Sub-Saharan Africa, particularly Nigeria, where it is quite a common epicene name, Ethiopia, where it is quite a rare largely feminine, but uncommonly boy's name, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where it is quite a rare largely male, but infrequently girly name. Not in comparison with a country's population, it is commonest in Nigeria, India, and Ethiopia. Likewise, ウデ is the last name as well as the forename.
