Trudy

Trudy is a charming and friendly name with German origins. It is often considered a diminutive of Gertrude, which means 'strength of the spear.' While Gertrude was more popular in the past, Trudy has emerged as a spunky and less formal version. It evokes a vintage feel, reminiscent of mid-20th century America. Trudy may not be as common today, which adds a dash of uniqueness and could appeal to those who favor names with retro flair. Familiar Trudys include Trudy Styler, an actress and film producer, known for her marriage to musician Sting.
