Enduring, steadfast, or suffering with calmness
Derived from the Latin word 'patientia', this name represents the virtue of enduring difficult circumstances with composure. It was popularized by the Puritans in the 17th century as a 'virtue name' intended to encourage moral character. While less common than Grace or Hope, it remains a distinctive choice with deep historical roots.
