A female given name, typically short for the name Gertrude, popular in the English-speaking world.
Trudy is a diminutive of Gertrude, which comes from the Germanic elements 'ger' (spear) and 'trude' (strength). The name became fashionable in the early 20th century as a nickname that evolved into a standalone name.
Trudy was hugely popular in the 1950s—if you look at old TV shows and books, you'll find dozens of Trudys! Names go in and out of fashion like clothing, which is why your grandparents' generation has way more Trudys than yours does.
