Hudsen, pronounced HUD-suhn (/hʌd.sən/), is a masculine name of Anglo-American origin derived from the Middle English patronymic surname meaning “son of Hudde,” with Hudde itself a medieval diminutive of Hugh. Its construction employs the traditional English -sen suffix, reflecting both family lineage and geographic heritage—most notably through association with the Hudson River. In U.S. birth statistics from 2003 to 2024, Hudsen has held a stable position in the high-800s—reaching rank 860 in 2010 and recording 28 occurrences (rank 896) in 2024—indicating modest but consistent usage. The deliberate spelling variant, swapping “o” for “e,” adds a contemporary orthographic nuance without affecting pronunciation or structural clarity, making Hudsen a technically precise yet subtly distinctive choice.
