Hudsen is a variant spelling of Hudson, a patronymic surname meaning 'son of Hud' or 'son of Hugh'. Hud is a medieval diminutive of Hugh, which itself derives from Old French Hugues and ultimately from a Germanic root meaning 'heart, mind, spirit'. The surname Hudson has been used as a given name since at least the 19th century, with the spelling Hudsen emerging more recently as a modern respelling.
