Gude

The name Gude, as documented in the supplied evidence, refers to a Norwegian family (slekt) rather than a commercial brand, company, product, or trademark. According to the Norwegian Wikipedia entry, the family probably originated in Rendsburg in Holstein and immigrated with Nicolaus Gude (1624–1696), a watchmaker in Bergen. The present-day lineage descends from his great-grandson Just Herman Gude (1728–1799), a merchant in Moss. His son Hans Angell Gude (1771–1814) was a landowner and official, born in Moss, appointed overkrigskommissær in 1810 and killed under mysterious circumstances in 1814. The well-known painter Hans Gude (1825–1903) belonged to this family. The evidence also describes the family coat of arms and cites genealogical literature. Because the subject is a family and not a commercial entity, no brand dossier can be responsibly compiled. The identity hints suggesting a Taiwanese beverage brand named Gude (古道) are not supported by the supplied evidence and appear to refer to a different, unrelated entity.

The supplied evidence identifies Gude as a Norwegian family rather than a commercial brand. The Norwegian Wikipedia article states that the family probably originated in Rendsburg in Holstein and immigrated with Nicolaus Gude (1624–1696), a watchmaker in Bergen. The currently living family descends from his great-grandson Just Herman Gude (1728–1799), a merchant in Moss. His son was Hans Angell Gude (1771–1814), a landowner and official born in Moss, appointed overkrigskommissær in 1810 and killed under mysterious circumstances in 1814. The noted painter Hans Gude (1825–1903) belonged to this family. With his wife Betsy, née Anker (1830–1912), he became the father of, among others, minister Ove Gude (1853–1910), who in marriage with Luise (Lilly) Egeberg (1856–1900) became the father of, among others, Ingse Gude (1890–1963), who in her first marriage was married to Mario Caprino (1881–1959), son of the Italian jurist Sebastino Caprino. Ingse, who later married Bernhard Folkestad, became in her first marriage the mother of film director Ivo Caprino (1920–2001) and grandmother of Remo Caprino (1944–). The evidence also describes the family coat of arms and cites genealogical sources. No commercial activity, product, or brand is documented in the supplied material.
