VUDAFIERI

Vudafieri, very very rare, would seem specific of Castelfranco Veneto, should derive from the medieval Germanic name Wodafir, in turn composed of Wodan (Odin, the king of the Germanic Gods) and fir (interpreter, but also guide), with the meaning of led by Odin or the one who speaks in the name of Odin.
