Honestie is English in Origin.

Honestie is an English virtue name derived from the word honesty, denoting integrity, truthfulness, and honorable conduct. The term comes through Middle English honeste from Old French (h)oneste, ultimately from Latin honestus (“honorable,” “respectable”), related to honor. In English, “honesty” is also the common name of the plant Lunaria annua, noted for its translucent, coin-like seedpods, which lends a gentle botanical association.

As a given name, it belongs to the Puritan repertoire of moral ideals used in 16th–17th‑century England and colonial America, alongside Charity and Patience, though it has always been rare. Renewed interest in word names has brought modest modern use in the UK and US, typically for girls but technically unisex. Honestie represents an archaic or creative spelling of the standard Honesty; other variants include Honestee and Honesti, with related forms Honesta (Spanish/Latin). Informal diminutives may include Honey or Nessa.
