About the surname Baudi/Baudo:
BAUDI, BAUDO
A diminutive form of one of the many names having as final suffix -baldus, from the German bald (courageous).
the above text is taken from the following website:
http://www.italyworldclub.com/genealogy/surnames/b.htm
caccia is the Italian word for 'hunt' (not the verb 'to hunt')
cacio is the Italian word for 'cheese'
I think it is most likely that the first part of Caciabauda is the Italian word caccia and that the -bauda part is from the firstname Baudo. The meaning of this surname would be something like 'Baudo's hunt'. It could also mean 'courageous hunt' as the meaning of the name Baudo means 'courageous'. There is an Italian word baldo with balda as the female form meaning probably 'courageous' or alike, but it's hardly used anymore.

Thank You Again
Wow! Again, thank you so much. She and her father have spent quite a bit of time researching ther ancestry, but have made little progress. They've found that most others who had the Caciabauda surname have shortended it, or changed it to somethinng a little easier to spell and pronounce. Therefore, it's been hard for them to construct any sort of family tree thing. So maybe now they have a clue as to what their name might mean, that can help them in some way. Thank you again.
