Name «Trush»

The name Trush is likely associated with Slavic personal names. Its origin may be linked to the verb "trusity," but it is more probable that it is derived from the Greek calendar name Trohym. The colloquial variant of this name, Trut, could have become the basis for the formation of the name Trush or its derivatives. The name Trush and its derivatives are documented in sources from the 15th century. For instance, in 1417, individuals with the name Trush (Trusz dyak) are mentioned. In 1434, burghers from Przemyśl are referred to: “Trusz et Hnatko, Ihnat et Trusz.” Other mentions date back to 1448, where the documents can be found with names such as Syenko Truszowicz and others. Later, in the Cossack registers of 1649, individuals with the name Trush are also recorded: Cossack Trush Pistrailenko from the Korsun regiment and Cossacks from the Kyiv regiment, including Trush Bobylychenko. These facts confirm the existence of the name Trush in the territory of modern Ukraine for many centuries.
