Meaning & Origin
A period of time in which no fighting takes place due to an agreement between the opposed parties.
Truce is a boy's and girl's baby name of Old English origin, from the Old English treow meaning "faith, pledge" — a word that evolved into the modern meaning of an agreement to stop fighting. As a name, it carries the profound hope for peace and resolution.
Truce is one of the most distinctive word names in current use — a name that announces a specific hope for the world. It has grown in the United States as part of the modern trend of virtue and concept names that express parental ideals, alongside True, Peace, and Noble.
