Meaning and background
The story behind Udon
Udon is a Japanese food word for large, thick wheat-flour noodles. Collins confirms both the Japanese origin and the British pronunciation, usually OO-don. It is a recognisable culinary reference rather than an old given name with a moral or spiritual meaning. Its two-syllable sound is straightforward when calling a dog, although the spelling does not explain why any particular owner chose it.
