Un grand classique.

Vladimir Poutine

Ce mot existe en Acadie et en Louisiane, avec des significations similaires, il semble qu’il s’agisse d’une adaptation du mot anglais pudding. Certains voudraient que le mot pudding soit la variante anglicisée du mot « boudin » (en anglais, le boudin noir s’appelle black pudding).

The word pudding is believed to come from the French boudin, originally from the Latin botellus, meaning "small sausage", referring to encased meats used in Medieval European puddings

Two Russian journalists speculate on a newspaper article that Putin's ancestry might be linked to Putyanin clan, "one of the oldest clans in the Russian history", based on pretended physical similarities to a 13th-century individual. Illegitimate offsprings of noble families were often given cut names.

PUT is a common Indo-European root. In English it's PATH, so Putin can be translated as "Paths" probably.
