Mistique is a modern English given name, a creative respelling of Mystique, itself borrowed from French mystique “mystical; aura of mystery,” ultimately from Greek mystikos (“secret, initiated”).

The name suggests meanings such as “mystery,” “spiritual allure,” or “veiled in mist,” appealing to parents seeking an unconventional, atmospheric choice without fixed traditional ties.
