Faithe

Faithe is an English feminine name, a variant spelling of Faith, which derives from the Latin word fides, meaning trust or belief. The name came into use among English Puritans in the seventeenth century as part of a broader tradition of virtue names, alongside Hope and Charity. The altered spelling Faithe may reflect a desire to give the name a more distinctive or feminine appearance. Related forms include Faith and the Latinate Faye.
