Labuda

Labuda is a surname of Polish origin. It is derived from a nickname or descriptive term. The exact meaning and etymology are debated, but some theories suggest it could be related to:

• Lada: A Slavic goddess of love and beauty, suggesting a connection to beauty or charm.
• Labedz (Łabędź): The Polish word for "swan," potentially indicating grace, elegance, or a connection to a place where swans are found.
• A less certain theory posits a connection to an archaic word related to "good" or "pleasant."

The surname Labuda is found primarily in Poland, and among Polish diaspora communities around the world, particularly in the United States, Canada, and other European countries. The frequency and distribution of the surname can be further examined using genealogical resources and historical records.
