Gertrude (given Name)
Gertrude (also spelled Gertrud) is a female given name which is derived from Germanic roots that meant "spear" and "strength". "Trudy", originally a diminutive of "Gertrude," has developed into a name in its own right. In German-speaking countries, Gertraud (pronounced Ger-trowt) is a familiar variation of the name. "Gartred" is a rare variation (attested in Daphne du Maurier's novel ''The King's General'', set in 17th-century Cornwall, England). "Gertruda" is a rare variation used in the Soviet Union as an abbreviation of Geroy truda (the Hero of Labour).Valeri Mokiyenko, "Толковый словарь языка Совдепии" ("Explanatory Dictionary of Sovdepiya"), St.Petersburg, Фолио-Пресс, 1998, .
