Felicity Forename Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
A female name. Latin Felicitas ‘happiness’. There were two saints Felicitas, one a 3rd-C Carthaginian martyr, and the other a widow said to have been martyred with her seven sons, and popularly identified with the mother of the Maccabees. But the name does not seem to have been used in England until the 17th C when many abstract nouns came into use as christian names. It is spelt Phelisstie in 1641.
A natural English adaptation of French Félicité, Felicity comes from Latin felicitas, ‘happiness,’ itself from felix (see the next). Its use as a font-name arises from the fact that Felicitas was the Roman goddess of happiness, ‘in the form of a matron, with the staff of Mercury (the caduceus of Hermes) and a cornucopia,’ which latter attribute—Blakeney does not suggest this—might seem to suggest that the Romans had some equivalent to ‘May all your troubles be little ones! ‘
