Chastity is a feminine name that originated from the English word, which ultimately derived from the Latin word "castus," meaning "pure." The name has a profound connection to the concept of innocence and virtue. Initially, it was associated with the virtue of chastity, emphasizing purity in conduct and intention. Over time, the name has evolved to be more commonly used as a given name, particularly in the 1970s after Sonny Bono and Cher named their child Chastity Sun Bono. The name continues to appeal to parents who value its timeless and virtuous connotations.
