Meaning & History
West Germanic name composed from *aud "wealth, riches, fortune" and gern "eager, willing"; for the second element, cf. Gothic cognate *gairns, which can also mean "desirous, covetous".This name was the true ancestor of Hodierna, the latter of which enjoyed moderate popularity in France, Crusader-era Jerusalem, and England during the Middle Ages.
