Félicité
Félicité Origin and Meaning
Félicité is a feminine French name derived from the Latin 'felicitas' meaning happiness, good fortune, or luck. This elegant name has deep historical roots, being popular among European nobility and appearing in literature and history. Félicité gained particular recognition through French novelist Gustave Flaubert's character Félicité in 'Un Coeur Simple.' The name carries a sophisticated, refined quality with its French pronunciation and accent mark. While consistently used in France throughout the centuries, it remains relatively uncommon in English-speaking countries, giving it an exotic appeal. Its meaning makes it attractive to parents seeking a name with positive connotations, while its French heritage adds cultural depth and elegance. The nickname Féli offers a more casual option for this otherwise formal name.
