Gertraud is a German feminine name, a variation of Gertrude, which combines the Germanic elements 'ger' meaning 'spear' and 'thrud' meaning 'strength.' This powerful name was popular throughout medieval Europe, particularly in Germanic countries. Gertraud maintains stronger usage in German-speaking regions than the Anglicized Gertrude, which has declined in popularity since the mid-20th century. The name carries associations with strength and resilience, and notable bearers include German resistance fighter Gertraud Lichtenstein. Though considered traditional and somewhat old-fashioned today, it represents a heritage choice with significant historical depth.
