Giraudo is typically a surname from that part of North West Italy that used to speak Alpine-Provençal Occitan and wrote French.

(This bloke was born in Cuneo, close to Nice and the French border).

His name is a semi-Italianate form of Provençal Giraud (the "normal" Italian cognate would be Giraldi).

And this is why arguably the most iconic dish of Piedmontese cuisine is called Bagna càuda, bravo.

Other sound changes in standard Piedmontese you might not be aware of :

Italian fuoco > Lombard fögh > Piedmontese feu (fr. feu)
Italian occhio > Lombard öcc > Piedmontese euj (fr. œil)
Italian notte > Lombard nöcc > Piedmontese neuit (fr. nuit)
Italian falso > Lombard fals > Piedmontese fàuss (fr. faux)
Italian alto > Lombard alt > Piedmontese àut (fr. haut)

etc.
hence all the Baudino, Audisio, Pautasso, Rinaudo in the province

no particular one, i guess he pass in generally in West Europe and even in the North he would not be that much noticed as a foreigner

I know that earliest Piedmontese was closer to Occitan (in grammar, phonology, vocabulary) than to any Italian dialect, even Lombard. Il even made plurals with -s!
(Its peripheral situation within the Occitan continuum was very similar to that of Catalan)

BTW I noticed that surnames ending in -o or -a are common place in both North (especially Piedmont) and South Italy, whilst in Central Italy the names ending with -I are absolutely predominant.
Possibly related to the fact that the Roman family model (whereby the basic social unit was not the nuclear household but the enlarged patriarchal family, the clan, the gens) survived longer there than elsewhere?
