Baby names
The name Felicity is a girl's name of Latin origin meaning "good fortune, happy". Felicity is as accessible a virtue name as Hope and Faith, but much more feminine -- and dare we say, happier. The hit TV show did a lot to soften and modernize the once buttoned-up image of Felicity, and it got further notice as the red-haired Colonial doll, Felicity Merriman, in the American Girl series. A current bearer is actress Felicity Huffman. Two nicknames for Felicity: Flick and Fee. Other forms include Felicia and Felice.
