Etymology

1. Inherited from Late Latin troia. Cognate with Italian troia, Occitan truèja, Catalan truja, Walloon troye. Further origin uncertain:
2. * It has been compared to Latin porcus Troiānus (literally “Trojan pig”), a singularly attested name for a stuffed roast of pork, so called by humorous comparison to the “filled” Trojan horse.
3. * More likely of Celtic origin, from a Gaulish *trogja, from a root meaning “to pull” and thence also “fertile," Proto-Celtic *trāglo-, for which see Latin traho.
4. * Finally it might be an imitative formation after the sound of a pig's grunt. See: Italian Nouns 'troia', Catalan Nouns 'truja'.
