Obluda is a surname.
Etymology
[edit]The surname Obluda may be found among the various towns and hamlets of Neidenburg, Ostpreussen Germany from the early 17th until the early 20th century.[1] During this time period, the region experienced many changes of national borders. Typically these changes came from a tug-of war between nations, at various times being a possession of either Russia, Germany, or Poland. Today, the region falls within Polish borders, being known as Olsztyn, Poland.
Pronunciation
