History & Origin

Majesta is a word-name built from majesty, from the Latin maiestas, 'greatness, dignity, grandeur.' It joins a small family of English grandeur names, chosen by parents drawn to its stately, uplifting sense rather than to any older tradition.

It has always been rare, given to only about fifteen girls a year at its modest peak around 1995 and never becoming common. A girl named Majesta then is in her twenties or thirties today.

Did you know? Majesta draws on the very word maiestas that Romans used for the dignity of the state and its gods, giving this modern word-name a grand and ancient backdrop.
