Looks as if from *C^udjIme^rI or *TjudjIme^rI with *c^udjI -- a possessive adj. from *c^udo 'wonder', *tjudjI 'foreign, somebody else's' (both with word-final vocalism (-I) -- this is legal in Slavic compound proper names), but I must admit I've never come across a Slavic compound proper name with these components (*c^ud-,*tjudj-) before. Other ideas?
