Rutt

Rutt is an Estonian feminine name functioning as a vernacular adaptation of the Hebrew name Ruth, which derives from a root possibly meaning companion or friend. The biblical Ruth, a Moabite woman celebrated for her loyalty to her mother-in-law Naomi, made the name widely known across many cultures and languages. As Estonian adapted the name to fit its own phonological patterns, Rutt became the standard local form. The international cognate Ruth is found across Germanic, Romance, and Slavic naming traditions.
