History & Origin

Chastidy is a spelling variant of Chastity, one of the Puritan virtue names, from the Latin 'castitas' ('purity'). Writing the middle consonant as 'd' captures the relaxed American pronunciation, a nineteen-seventies habit as virtue names had a small revival.

It appeared in modest numbers, cresting around 1974 amid interest in Chastity (kept in view by the celebrity child of that name), then fading. A Chastidy today is likely Gen-X, and the standard Chastity remains the better-known form.

Did you know? Chastidy softens Chastity's 't' to a 'd', matching how many Americans say it, and peaked around 1974.
