Origin
Meaning and history of Faithmarie
The name Faithmarie is a combination of two words – Faith and Marie. The first part, Faith, is derived from the Latin word "fides," meaning trust, belief, or confidence. It is a virtue name that reflects a strong religious or spiritual conviction. The second part, Marie, is a French variation of the name Mary, which has its roots in the Hebrew name Miryam or Miriam.
Faithmarie, as a single name, does not have a long historical record. However, its components have been used separately as given names throughout history. The name Faith has been popular among Christians, particularly in English-speaking countries, as it symbolizes one's belief in God and the teachings of Christianity.
One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Faith can be found in the Bible's Book of Hebrews, where it is described as "the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen" (Hebrews 11:1, King James Version). This biblical reference has contributed to the name's enduring popularity among Christians.
The name Marie has a rich history, dating back to ancient times. It was derived from the Egyptian word "myr," meaning beloved or love. The name gained widespread popularity after the birth of the Virgin Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ, in the Christian tradition.
Throughout history, several notable individuals have borne the name Faith or Marie. One of the earliest recorded examples is Saint Faith (Fides in Latin), a Christian martyr who lived in the 3rd century AD and was venerated for her unwavering devotion to her religious beliefs.
Another notable figure is Marie Antoinette (1755-1793), the last Queen of France before the French Revolution. She was known for her extravagant lifestyle and became a symbol of the aristocratic excesses that fueled the revolution.
In more recent times, notable individuals with the name Faith include Faith Ringgold (born 1930), an American artist and author known for her quilts and children's books, and Faith Hill (born 1967), an American country music singer and songwriter.
As for the name Marie, some notable figures include Marie Curie (1867-1934), the pioneering physicist and chemist who conducted groundbreaking research on radioactivity, and Marie Antoinette (as mentioned earlier).

FAQ
Faithmarie: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Faithmarie?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 49 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Faithmarie going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 6,994,986 US residents.
Is Faithmarie a common name?
We classify Faithmarie as "Very Rare". It ranks above 54% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 50 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Faithmarie most popular?
The single biggest year for Faithmarie was 2014, when 9 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Faithmarie is about 15 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Faithmarie in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Faithmarie a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Faithmarie in the SSA data are female. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Faithmarie still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Faithmarie in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Faithmarie can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate. You can read the full calculation on our methodology page.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only covers names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files do not have a published Census demographic snapshot. In those cases, the page still shows the SSA trend, gender history, and state data.
