Charity is an English feminine given name derived from the English word "charity," which means benevolence for the poor and the highest manifestation of Christian love. It was used by the Puritans as a virtue name and has its roots in the Old French word "charité," which was derived from the Latin "Caritas." The name has been in use since the 19th century and experienced a resurgence in popularity in the 1970s and 1980s. Despite its decline in recent years, Charity remains a meaningful name that symbolizes kindness and generosity. It is often associated with the three theological virtues, Faith, Hope, and Charity, and is traditionally given to triplet girls.
