True Origin and Meaning

The name True is a girl's name meaning "true".

An inspirational and aspirational word name that evokes ideas of loyalty, faith, honesty, and accuracy, True is a unisex name, which is just slightly more popular for boys. Like an updated form of Trudy and Prue and with the virtuous feel of Grace, Faith, and Hope, True was given to around 200 girls in 2023.

Forest Whitaker was well ahead of the trends when he named his daughter True in the 90s, but it was Khloe Kardashian's use of the name in 2018 that really gave it a boost. While it may still rank behind the Tru spelling, this traditional form might just come to be seen as the more authentic way to the sound and meaning.
