Fay
[feɪ]Meaning
from the English word fay, "fairy", from Middle English faie, "magical, enchanted"
Background Story
Fay comes in part from the English word fay, meaning "fairy", which derives from Middle English faie, "magical, enchanted", and ultimately, through Old French, from Latin fata, "the Fates". The name appears in Geoffrey of Monmouth's chronicles as part of the name Morgan le Fay, and in some cases it is used as a short form of Faith. It has been used as a feminine given name since the 19th century, while the rarer and older masculine name is probably derived from a surname.
