Origin:Latin
Meaning:Prudent; Wise; Skilled; Caution, discretion
Pru is a girl’s name of Latin origin and a pretty little take on the name Prudence. Taken from the Roman name Prudentius and the Latin term prudens, this picture-perfect moniker may point to someone “prudent,” “wise,” or “skilled.” It’s also related to the English word prudence, often used to refer to someone who proceeds with “caution” or “discretion.” You may have a prodigy in the making, but a name as sensible as Pru might remind them that personal safety is just as important!
