History & Origin

Faithe is a decorative spelling of Faith, a virtue name from Middle English feith and Latin fides, 'trust, belief'. The silent -e is a modern ornamental touch on a very old name.

It was always rare - only a few dozen girls a year around its high point near 2001 - trailing the far more common Faith. It reads as a fanciful spelling of a revived virtue name.

Did you know? Faith belongs to the old trio of virtue names Faith, Hope, and Charity, first given by Puritans and revived by modern parents.
