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.

Today, the region falls within Polish borders, being known as Olsztyn, Poland.
