Erudus Meaning
Since Shakespeare pondered “what’s in a name?” (and let’s face it, probably even before then) people have put great stock in the meaning of and significance behind names. Certainly we’re always being asked why we chose to name our company ‘Erudus’.
And with a newly launched rebrand and shiny new website, we thought now was the perfect time to clear things up...
Does the word Erudus have a meaning?
The word Erudus has no literal meaning. But its origins do. The word Erudus is a play on the Middle English word ‘erudite’, which in turn comes from the Latin word ‘eruditus’ - which means ‘to instruct’.
In its modern incarnation, the word ‘erudite’ means ‘learned, accomplished and well-informed.’
The name ‘Erudus’ is a combination of the words ‘erudite’ and ‘us’.
