50 Names That Mean Faithful – ‘Cause You Gotta Have Faith (2024)

Whether you want your child to have faith in a god, the universe, themselves, or simply the deliciousness of pizza, a name that means faithful could be the perfect way to manifest that reality.

Fortunately, this has been a common sentiment among prospective parents, so there are plenty of names across a wide variety of cultures to choose between. All those we’ve picked out below have meanings related to faithfulness, loyalty, and commitment.

The Latin for “faithful” is “fidelium,” which is exactly where the male name Fidel comes from. It’s mostly used in Hispanic countries and has failed to achieve much usage in the United States due to the controversial leader Fidel Castro, but Fidel is still a popular name in Latin America and Spain. There’s also the female equivalent, Fidela.

Another name with plenty of history attached to it is Truman – with both Truman Capote, author of “In Cold Blood,” and Harry S. Truman staking a claim. Truman literally means “faithful one” or “faithful man” in Old English, so you’d struggle to find a name with a more direct link to the word. Although it’s more popular as a surname these days, Truman was also a popular first name back in the early twentieth century (when Capote was writing). Why not give a nod to tradition?

At this point, you might be wondering if there are any male names meaning faithful that aren’t also related to famous political figures in some way. Don’t worry; we’ve still got more names up our sleeves. The Arabic and Persian name Amin means “faithful” or “true-hearted.” Even better, you’ve got options — Amine and Amien are two commonly used variations.

Leala might technically mean “loyal” and not “faithful” – but really, what’s the difference? This female name is used in both France and Spain, and has the same meaning in both countries’ languages.

Finally, Nakia means “faithful” and “pure” in Egyptian, although it has different meanings in other languages. It’s a unisex name, but is almost exclusively used for females.
