Meaning and history
Faithe is an elaborated English spelling of Faith. Faith is a Christian virtue name derived from Latin fides, meaning “faith,” “trust,” or “belief.” It entered regular English personal-name use after the Protestant Reformation alongside Hope and Charity, although the underlying virtue had long been central to Christian theology. The final e is ornamental and does not change the meaning. A notable bearer is American actor Faithe Herman, known for the television series This Is Us.
