Fae is an English name derived from the Old French word meaning fairy or enchanted being, itself tracing back to the Latin fata, meaning fate or the Fates. It carries strong associations with folklore and the magical fairy realm of medieval European tradition. The name functions both as an independent given name and as a short form of Faye or Faith. Related forms include Fay, Faye, and the older English fairy-lore term faerie.
