Dru

Dru is most commonly understood as a short form of the Old French and Latin-derived name Drogo or, more often, as a diminutive of Drew and Andrew, themselves ultimately from the Greek Andreas, meaning manly or of a man. It has also been connected to Old Germanic elements meaning to carry or bear, found in early medieval names across northern Europe. The name functions as both a masculine and feminine given name in modern English usage, reflecting its adoption as a standalone form in the twentieth century. Related names include Drew, Andrew, Andrea, and Dreux.
