"Budke is a Familiar Form of Bodo"
By Winfried Breidbach
Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung
12/12/11
"A considerable portion of the roughly 850 of those carrying the name live in and around Osnabrück and in the northern Münsterland. Because of this, the meaning of the name Budke, as found in reference books on family names, is only conditionally correct. There, Budke is explained as an originally Slavic name, which came about as a familiar form of names like Budimir, Budislaw, and Budivoij. This would be the case only for families from the German-Slavic contact zones like the Lausitz and the former eastern regions of Germany.
It is not only the geographic distribution of the name that speaks for its interpretation as an indigenous, low-German name. It's also that the very rare family names Buddecke and Buddeke are found only in the region around Osnabrück. They are spelling variations of verified names associated with historical farmsteads. The documents go back to the 14th century. The name Bede(c)ke is attested for Belm—Icker, Bissendorf—Grambergen as well as for Badbergen—Vehs and —Wulften.
Buddecke/Buddeke are older forms of Budke, resulting from the disappearance of the unaccented middle syllable. In the region of Osnabrück/northerner Münsterland, the name also appears in the forms of Budecke, Budeke, Buddke, Budcke, Budtke and Butke.
The oldest form of the family name is Buddiko. This name can be interpreted in several ways, with two possibilities the most probable. First, the names Buddiko/Budeke are familiar forms of the first name Budde, which, with Buto, Buodo and Buoto, are variant forms of the known first name Bodo. Bodo was a common abbreviated form of the first part of a variety of names beginning with Bod- (command). These were names like Bodfrid, Bodger, Bodulf, all of which were rarely popular.
Secondly, Buddeke could be a diminutive form of the Middle Low German word "Budde", with meaning of small barrel, open vessel or tub. The family name would then be either indirectly the occupational name of the producer or rather a nickname referring to a shorter person with round shape."
