Faithe is English in Origin.

Faithe is a modern, stylized form of Faith, the English virtue name drawn from Middle English feith and Old French fei/feid, ultimately from Latin fides meaning "belief, trust, loyalty." The added final e lends an archaic, medieval flavor without altering pronunciation (FAYTH) and emphasizes qualities of steadfastness and devotion associated with the word.

As a given name, Faith emerged in England by the early modern era and flourished among 16th–17th-century Puritans in Britain and colonial America, alongside Hope and Charity. It later saw periodic revivals in the 20th century. Faithe appears in records from the early 1900s but has remained rare, chosen by parents seeking a distinctive twist on the familiar form or echoing family spellings. Variants include Faith, Faythe, and Fayth; related names are Grace, Mercy, and Verity. Nicknames and diminutives include Fay/Fae and Faithie; a historical touchstone is Saint Faith (Latin Fides).
