Pruda is of Latin origin, meaning 'pure'. It was traditionally used as a feminine name but has become more unisex in recent times. The name has gained popularity in parts of Europe and South America.
"Interestingly, the name Pruda experienced a brief surge in popularity between 1895 and 1916, with six births occurring in 1915, marking its peak during this period. However, it appears that Pruda was not widely chosen for newborns overall, as there were only sixteen instances of the name being given over these twenty-one years."
