Serenity is English in Origin.
Serenity is an English word-name meaning "peacefulness, calm, clarity," taken from the noun serenity, ultimately from Latin serenitas ("clearness, tranquility") and the adjective serenus ("clear, unclouded, serene"). The term entered English via Old French serein/serenite and Middle English serenite; as a given name it belongs to the modern revival of abstract and virtue names alongside Harmony and Hope.
Use as a personal name was rare before the late 20th century, then surged in the United States in the early 2000s, reaching the Top 100 through much of the 2010s; it remains largely feminine but is occasionally unisex. Related names and near-cognates include Serena (Latin), Serenella (Italian), and the Welsh Seren (similar in sound but meaning "star"). Spelling variants such as Sereniti and Serenitee appear, with nicknames Sera, Seri, Ren, or Reni. The name evokes poise, composure, and a soothing presence.
