Trudence is a unique and distinct given name of Latin origin, derived from the word 'truculentus', meaning 'savage' or 'wild'. It was traditionally used as a male name but has been adopted by some as a female name in recent times. The name Trudence is not particularly common, which contributes to its distinctive and memorable character.
"Trudence was a popular baby girl name in 1948 with seven newborns bearing it that year."
