Fortune is English in Origin.
Fortune is an English given name and surname drawn from Latin fortuna “luck, fate, prosperity,” the name of the Roman goddess who governed chance and prosperity. In medieval and Renaissance Europe it entered vernaculars via ecclesiastical Latin and French, where fortune/fortuné conveyed “good fortune” or “prosperous,” giving the name a meaning of destiny, blessing, and success.
As a given name, Fortune appears in records from the late Middle Ages, with parallel forms shaped by Christian usage of Fortunatus (New Testament) and by the popular medieval tale Fortunatus. It saw occasional revival among English Puritans who favored abstract-virtue and word names. International variants include Fortuna (Italian, Spanish), Fortunata (feminine), Fortunato (Italian, Spanish, Portuguese), Fortunatus (Latin), and Fortuné/Fortunée (French). The name remains rare but recognizably unisex in modern English, while enduring more commonly as a surname.
