Trula is an uncommon and distinctive given name, of possible Old Norse origin. It may be derived from 'Þrúðr', a name appearing in Norse mythology, which could translate to 'strength' or 'power'. Trula is also reminiscent of names like 'Trudy' or 'Trujillo', suggesting a connection to the Latin root 'truida', meaning 'firm' or 'steady'. While not widely used today, Trula possesses an unique and intriguing sound that sets it apart from more common names. It could be particularly suitable for parents seeking a distinctive name with a touch of historical or cultural significance.
The name Trula experienced significant fluctuations in popularity over the late 19th and early to mid-20th centuries. Its usage peaked around World War I, with a notable high of 63 births in 1923, but it declined dramatically post-war, dropping to single digits by the mid-1950s. Overall, Trula was given to 2045 babies over this period.
