Strong spear or strength of the spear
Trudi originated as a diminutive of Gertrude, a Germanic name composed of the elements 'ger' (spear) and 'thrud' (strength). While it began as a nickname, it developed into an independent given name in the mid-20th century. It carries a sense of mid-century charm while retaining its robust etymological roots.
