What does the surname Abud mean. It is pronounced (a-boo-d). I believe it may come from an arabic language.

Yes it's Arabic, a male forename and a surname common to Christians and Muslims. The word is a variant of abd, which literally means "slave", by extension a devoted servant of the deity. Another spelling is Aboud, found in the US, where some of the name have changed it to Abbott.
