Faith (given name)

Faith is an English feminine given name derived from the Middle English word "feith," meaning belief or trust, ultimately from the Latin "fides." It is a virtue name, inspired by the theological virtue of faith. Virtue names became particularly popular in Puritan communities in the 17th century, along with other names such as Hope and Charity. Faith experienced a resurgence in popularity in the late 20th century and continues to be used today. It can also be used as a middle name.
