History & Origin

Chariti respells Charity, an English virtue name meaning Christian love or generous giving, one of the classic Faith-Hope-Charity set. Swapping -y for -i gives it a modern, informal finish while keeping the familiar three-beat sound. A girl named Chariti near its faint peak in the mid-nineteen-seventies is in her fifties today.

It never overtook the standard Charity, appearing as an occasional stylish respelling. The virtue meaning stays clear whichever spelling a family chooses.

Did you know? Charity is one of the trio of virtue names - Faith, Hope, and Charity - and this spelling gives the oldest of them a fresher look.
