Meaning & Origin
British standard spelling of favor.
Favour is a girl's and boy's baby name of English origin, from the English word meaning 'grace,' 'approval,' or 'divine blessing,' from the Latin favor (goodwill). As a given name, Favour is popular in West African Christian communities, particularly in Nigeria, where it is given as a declaration of God's grace upon a family.
Spiritual and direct, Favour is a name that is also a prayer — given by parents who see their child as evidence of God's favor toward them, a blessing made visible and named.
