Origin & history of Faith
Latin fides (faith/trust)
→ Old French feid
→ English faith
→ Puritan given name Faith
1
English / Latin roots
Faith comes from the Latin fides, meaning trust or belief. The Puritans adopted it as a given name in the 16th and 17th centuries, believing that naming a child for a virtue would help instil that quality. Faith, Hope, and Charity were a popular trio of names. Faith has been used continuously since then. Faith Hill (born Audrey Faith Perry) became one of the bestselling country artists of all time, married to Tim McGraw. George Michael's song Faith (1987) gave the word additional pop-culture resonance. The name has been in or near the US top 100 for most of the 21st century.
