I recently came across the French surname Audoire. I actually saw it as a first name on a woman, initially making me assume that it was an obscure French first name - but after doing some research, I learned that it was actually a surname. (So in the case of that woman, her parents apparently thought it was a good idea to use a surname for her first name.) It seems the surname is also sometimes seen in the spelling Audoir.

I have no idea what it means, or even whether it is a patronymic or an occupational surname. The surname intrigues me, however, and I would be very grateful to whoever can shed more light on this surname: thank you in advance!
