Dude
[duːd]Background Story
Dude is American slang for an individual, typically male. From the 1870s to the 1960s it primarily meant a man who dressed in an extremely fashionable manner, or a citified person visiting a rural location. In the 1960s it shifted to mean any male person, a sense that reached mainstream American slang in the 1970s, and current usage retains at least some of all three meanings. The sources checked do not record it as a personal name.
