Eliyahu would work. As would any of the neviim acharonim. And Miriam and Yocheved, Shifra and Puah. ETA: Great answers. And of course, other nevios.

Eliyahu (read the Navi of Eliyahu on har hakarmel)
Yaakov was known as Ish Emes

Not what you asked for exactly, but the name Amitai comes from the root אמת which means truth.
A bigger stretch: Sharon comes from the root ישר which can mean straight but also can mean true.

Isn't Yaakov known as "ish emes" I'm pretty sure there is a rashi or other commentary somewhere that refers to him as such. That's why Rivka had to persuade him with switching the brachos and why he tried not lie outright when talking to his father.

It’s not short, but Yoshiyahu certainly fits the bill. Also Yirmiyahu and Chulda.

Yes. Avraam's quality is chessed, Itzchak's gevurah and Yaakov's emes (as in a balance of chessed and gevura).

Mordechai.
Yirmiyahu - he was thrown in a pit because the people didn't like what he had to say.
Avraham.
Sarah.
There are probably names of tana'im and amora'im as well. Look through pirkei avos and see which proverbs you like, and who said them.

Any Navi name should fit that description.

But many are long...
And while it's true that all prophets spoke 'the truth' - not all did so in the face of opposition or social resistance to their message, so some fit OP's description of what she's seeking better than others.
Some just delivered obscure messages about future times and didn't focus so much on things like social justice or other תוכחה.

How about Aharon who said "mi lashem elai" when all of Am Yisrael wanted to make the golden calf.
Or his descendents, the chashmonaim who said the same thing, and fought against the Greeks and the Mityavnim -
Yehuda (Hamacabi).
Matityahu (a bit long).

Or simply Levi, their forefather. Shevet Levi were the one's who answered Moshe's rallying call after חטא העגל.
“וַיַּעֲמד משֶׁה בְּשַׁעַר הַמַּחֲנֶה וַיּאמֶר מִי לַה’ אֵלָי וַיֵּאָסְפוּ אֵלָיו כָּל בְּנֵי לֵוִי:”
And if you want to go back further, Levi (with Shimon) would not tolerate the sullying of his sister Dina and avenged her rape. He certainly stood up then for what he thought was right (even though his father wasn't pleased by his and Shimon's actions...)
