Faythe

Faythe is a girl's baby name of Middle English origin, an archaic spelling of Faith, from the Old French feid and Latin fides, meaning 'trust' or 'belief.' The -ythe spelling is a deliberate return to an older orthographic convention.

As a virtue name, Faith has been used by English-speaking parents since the Puritan era. The Faythe spelling gives it a mystical, almost medieval quality — as if the name were lifted from an illuminated manuscript — appealing to parents who want their virtue name to look as storied as it sounds.
