True

True is a word turned vow. From the Old English treowe, faithful, it's one of the oldest adjectives in the language and one of the newest names, rising in the word-name wave alongside Bliss, Soul, and Honor. Khloé Kardashian gave a daughter the name in 2018, sending it into a wider conversation; it now sits at 986 and reads firmly unisex. Short, declarative, impossible to mumble, it's a name that doubles as a compass bearing. There's nothing to hide behind in a single syllable this bare, which is, of course, the point. True means what it says.
