Happy

English word name

"joyful"

Happy Origin and Meaning

The name Happy is a boy's name meaning "joyful".

Many emotional, virtuous word names are coming back into style, but Happy feels unlikely to be revived. This could be because it doesn't have a solid history of being popularly used (in comparison to Joy) and because it's such a familiarly used word in day to day life (unlike Valor).

It was notably borne by the not-so-happy character Happy Loman in Arthur Miller's play Death of a Salesman and by a cat in the anime and manga series, Fairy Tail.
