Prudie Origin and Meaning

The name Prudie is a girl's name.

Prudie is a diminutive form of Prudence, derived from the Latin word 'prudentia' meaning wisdom or discretion. This charming feminine name embodies the virtue of careful thought and good judgment. Popular during the Victorian era when virtue names were fashionable, Prudie offers a softer, more affectionate alternative to the more formal Prudence. While never reaching widespread popularity in modern times, it maintains a quaint, vintage appeal that occasionally attracts parents looking for something distinctive yet traditional. The name has appeared in literature and film, including as a character in Jane Austen's 'Mansfield Park,' contributing to its literary pedigree.
