Charitee is English in Origin.

Charitee is a modern, phonetic respelling of the English virtue name Charity. The name descends from Latin caritas, “dearness, love, benevolence,” transmitted through Old French charité and Middle English charite. In the King James Bible, “charity” renders Greek agapē, the selfless love exalted as one of the three theological virtues alongside Faith and Hope. As a given name, Charity flourished among English Puritans in the 16th–17th centuries and later enjoyed periodic revivals in Britain and North America.

Charitee preserves the same pronunciation (CHAR-ih-tee) while giving the word-name a contemporary twist; usage appears chiefly in the United States from the late 20th century onward. Standard variants include Charity and Charitie; related international equivalents are Carità (Italian), Caridad (Spanish), and Caridade (Portuguese). Diminutives and short forms include Char and Chari. The meaning remains “charity; selfless, benevolent love,” evoking compassion and generosity.
