Trueman is an English masculine name originating as an occupational or characteristic surname meaning exactly what it suggests – a true or faithful man. It combines the Old English elements "treowe" (faithful, trustworthy) and "mann" (person). As a first name, it emerged following the trend of converting surnames to given names, particularly those with positive character associations. Trueman carries strong connotations of honesty, reliability, and moral fortitude. While never extremely common, it gained modest usage during the Victorian era when virtue names were fashionable. The name experienced a minor revival in the late 20th century as parents sought names with transparent positive meanings. Trueman appeals to those who value traditional masculine virtues and straightforward English etymology.
