Etymology
v. wudu . The first element has generally been interpreted as 'cock', from OE hana, which is used in literary sources of the domestic cock, mostly with reference to its crowing; but the combination of this with 'wood' is not altogether convincing. Hana could be a personal name. Descriptive terms are however, the commonest qualifiers names containing wudu , and another possible first element is OE hān 'rock'; but some topographical justification would be required before this suggestion could be entertained.
