Hi Ute - Heather from Trulia here.

It's the "Tru" in Trulia that reflects trustworthy and truthful. The "lia" is the "nice ring" part :)

I looked at the prior explanation "Our co-founders Pete & Sami wanted a name that reflected the words trustworthy and truthful and came up with the name "Trulia". Has a nice ring to it, don't you think?"

I am not sure why they thought having the letters "lia" in the name would express trustworthiness. Can someone enlighten me? What's in a name anyway :-) ???
