The feminine name Kerttu will remind your little one to be a maker of opportunities, an inventor of solutions, and a navigator of their own path forward. As the Finnish form of Gertrude, Kerrtu finds its roots in the Old German elements ger, meaning "spear," and drud, meaning "strength." With the definition "spear of strength," Kerttu represents the confidence and determination you'll instill in your newest addition. Some sources link Kerrtu and Gertrude to the translation of "beloved spear," so don't be surprised if your Kerrtu takes great pride in their ability to try new things and embrace the unknown.
