Name Meaning
German: from a short form of the female personal name Gertrude, composed of the ancient Germanic elements gēr ‘spear’ + trud ‘strength’, the latter being subsequently reinterpreted as traut ‘dear’, yielding the form Gertraut (see Draudt ).
English (Devon): variant of Trodd, a topographic name for someone who lived by a path or track (Middle English, Old English trod); or perhaps from a misdivision of the Middle English phrase atte rode, either ‘at the clearing’ (Old English rod, rodu) or ‘at the reed bed’ (Old English hrēod).
