Gertrudes: origem e significado do nome

O nome Gertrudes deriva do francês Gertrude, que, por sua vez, constituirá um empréstimo do alemão Gertrud por via alsaciana. O “s” que caracteriza o nome no português gterá sido um caso de paragoge surgido por via popular.

De acordo com José Machado, no seu Dicionário Onomástico Etimológico da Língua Portuguesa, o nome é, portanto, de origem alemã, composto pelos elementos germânicos “gari-”, “ger-“ (“lança”) e “trud-“ (“fiel”). A sua popularidade deveu-se ao culto a Santa Gertrudes, cuja festa litúrgica é celebrada a 16 de novembro.

A santa nasceu na Alemanha a 6 de janeiro de 1256 e foi enviada para estudar no mosteiro beneditino de Helfta quando tinha 5 anos. Após a tomada de hábito na adolescência, tornou-se amiga de Santa Matilde de Hackeborn, sendo ambas devotas do Sagrado Coração de Jesus.

Santa Gertrudes é hoje venerada como a padroeira das pessoas místicas.
