Name «Popud»

The name "Popud" is likely derived from the verbal root "pud-", which appears in dialectal verbs such as "napudyty," "spudyty," and "perepudyty," meaning "to scare" or "to frighten." For instance, in 1682, the anthroponym "Popud" was already recorded as a surname associated with the personal name Danik in the Transcarpathian village of Stavne (source: Chu Prizv. 463). It is also worth noting that the surname "Napuda" is common in Transcarpathia and shares the same root.
