Baby Names Meaning Faith

Faith-names do something specific: they name the thread rather than the thing. Whether religious or secular, they express the parent's wish for steadiness. This hub collects names whose meaning rests on faith, trust, or devotion.

Imani, from Swahili, means 'faith'. Amina, from Arabic, means 'trustworthy'. Fidelma, from Irish, derives from 'fidelis'. Faith itself, used since the Puritan era, has come back into use. Several Hebrew names (Emunah, Batya) centre on belief and trust.
