Duda is a given name and surname.

In Slavic languages, the surname originates from a colloquial term for someone who plays the bagpipes, rooted in the word "duda", which means bagpipe. In Czech, it may also derive from "dudek", the word for a hoopoe bird, while in Hungarian, it comes either from the non-religious given name Duda or is an abbreviated version of Dudás.[1] In Polish, the surname has archaic feminine forms: Dudzina (after husband) and Dudzianka (after father). These forms are still used colloquially.[2]
