Felicity is English, Latin in Origin.
Felicity is the English given-name use of the common noun felicity, recorded in Middle English as felicite through Anglo-French, with its root in Latin felicitas. The earliest personal-name form is Latin Felicitas, also the Roman personification of good fortune. Morphologically, felicitas joins felix, genitive felicis, lucky, fruitful, successful, to the abstract suffix -tas, so the literal sense is happiness, prosperity, or good fortune.
Christian usage was reinforced by Saint Felicity of Rome and by Felicitas, the Carthaginian martyr associated with Perpetua. In English, Felicity appears among late-16th-century Puritan virtue names, though Felicia and Felice were often more common before the Victorian period. Regular British use dates especially from the late 19th century; Australia and New Zealand also maintained the name. In North America it remained occasional until a rise after the 1998 television series Felicity. Variants include Felicitas, Felicia, Felice, Félicité, and Felizitas.
