Meaning
“Possibly faithful and strong”
Truett's origin is disputed. It may be an English surname from the place name Trewhitt, shaped by Old French, Old English and Old Norse influences after the Norman Conquest. Other sources read it as an anglicized form of the German surname Treuhardt, built from treu ('faithful' or 'true') and hardt ('strong' or 'brave').
