Name
The name Pudu (普渡) is a slogan from Buddhism Classics, literally "helping people get out of sorrows and troubles". Some people also believe that "Pudu" here actually refers to "a ferry ran by Pu's family".
In Chinese, the name of the Pudu River is written with the same Chinese characters as the Chinese name of Purdue University, but this is just a coincidence.
