Faerie

Old French

"realm of fairies"

Faerie Origin and Meaning

The name Faerie is a girl's name meaning "realm of fairies".

Faerie is an Old French word used to describe the world of the fae (fairies), from which the English word "fairy" is derived. Edmund Spenser reintroduced it to English speakers in his epic poem The Faerie Queene, where he wanted to use an archaic variation of "fairy."

Faerie is homophonous with Fairy, which has been corrupted as a slur for gay men. If you want to use a name connected to Fairyland, we suggest Pixie or Faye.
