History & Origin

Forever comes straight from the English word — 'for all time, eternally, endlessly'. It belongs to the contemporary wave of aspirational word- and concept-names (Heaven, Legend, Eternity), chosen for the feeling and promise it carries.

It registers faintly as a recent coinage. Very rare, eternal in meaning, and boldly modern.

Did you know? Forever joins a small set of 'concept' names — Heaven, Legend, Destiny — that name a child for an idea or an ideal rather than a meaning translated from another tongue.
