Astrud is in Origin.
Astrud is a rare Scandinavian–Germanic feminine name, most widely understood as a variant of Astrid, from Old Norse Ástríðr (áss ‘god, divine’ + fríðr ‘beautiful, beloved’), yielding meanings like “divinely beautiful” or “beloved of the gods.” Spelled Astrud chiefly in Lusophone contexts and occasionally in Germanic diaspora, it preserves the s-tr consonant cluster of the Norse form while swapping the -id ending for -ud; despite occasional folk-association with the Germanic -trud “strength” element, standard scholarship files Astrud under the Astrid family.
The name appears in medieval Scandinavian records via Ástríðr/Ástríður and was widely revived across Scandinavia in the 19th–20th centuries. Astrud gained international notice through Brazilian singer Astrud Gilberto in the 1960s, yet remains uncommon. Related forms and variants include Astrid (standard Scandinavian/German/English), Astride (French), Estrid (Danish/Swedish historical), Icelandic Ástríður; short forms include Ásta and Astri.
Astrud is extremely rare. There are only 16 recorded uses on record, spread over 9 countries.
