Etymology
editThe name Trușeni may have originated form its legendary founder "Toader Truș" with local residents calling it "În sat alde Truș" (In Truș' village) before overtime calling it Trușeni.[5]
History
editLegend says that a certain Toader Truș left his hometown of Turluești and settled the village of Trușeni at where it is now, albiet this is only a legend and has no significant historical backing.[5]
The earliest documentary mention of Trușeni is from a charter by Petru Rareș in the Principality of Moldavia in relation to setting the boundaries of the local Căpriana Monastery.[5][6] However, according to the Statistical Dictionary of Bessarabia, Bucharest 1923, the village was established in 1510.[7]
By 1904, the commune had amassed 3,426 residents.[8]

The flag and coat of arms wouldn't be registered and/or "official" until June 13th, 2016, when the Moldovan Government registered and officialized the flag and coat of arms cherry tree designs in Decree No. 2128.[10][11]
