A mythical small being with magical powers
Derived from the English word for the mythical creatures of folklore, which itself comes from the Old French 'faerie'. It refers to supernatural beings known for magic and enchantment. While used as a given name in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, it is now extremely rare and considered a whimsical nature-adjacent choice.
