Meaning & History

Russified form of a Chechen and Ossetian family name of disputed meaning; the name may be derived from Ossetian дудахъхъ (dudaqq) meaning "bustard", from Ingush тат (tat) meaning "Mountain Jew", or from Circassian дадэ (dade) meaning "grandfather" or "king, head, chief". A notable bearer was DZHOKHAR Dudayev (1944-1996), the former president of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria.
