Drue Origin and Meaning

The name Drue is a girl's name.

Drue as a feminine name is a modern spelling variation of Drew, which itself began as a shortened form of the masculine Andrew, meaning "manly" or "brave" from Greek origins. This particular spelling adds a subtle femininity while maintaining the short, strong sound of the original. While traditionally more common for males, Drue has crossed gender lines as part of the trend toward unisex naming. The name carries an appealing simplicity and strength, with only four letters but a clear, distinctive sound. For girls, it offers a refreshing alternative to longer feminine names, embodying a certain directness and clarity. The unique spelling helps distinguish it from the more common masculine Drew while preserving its essential character.
