Trude is a feminine name with Germanic origins, primarily used in Germany, Austria, and Scandinavian countries. It emerged as a shortened form of names containing the element 'trud' or 'trut,' which means 'strength' or 'power' in Old Germanic languages. Most commonly, it serves as a diminutive of Gertrude ('spear strength'), but can also derive from other Germanic names with this element. Pronounced 'TROO-duh,' the name peaked in popularity in German-speaking regions during the early 20th century but has since become less common. Though rare in English-speaking countries, Trude offers a distinctive option with historical depth and a strong meaning, conveying resilience and fortitude in a compact, friendly form.
