Honour is a feminine virtue name derived from the Latin 'honor,' representing high respect, recognition, and integrity. Used primarily in English-speaking countries, particularly with British spelling (versus the American 'Honor'), it emerged as a given name during the Puritan era alongside other virtue names like Grace, Faith, and Patience. Though never extremely common, Honour has maintained a steady, understated presence in naming records. The name carries dignified associations with moral uprightness, honesty, and principled behavior. In recent decades, virtue names have experienced renewed interest, with Honour benefiting from this revival among parents seeking names with clear positive meanings and traditional roots. The name's straightforward pronunciation and spelling (in British English contexts) make it accessible despite its relatively uncommon usage.

The name Honour peaked for girls at #5866 in 2016. Honour is occasionally used for boys in 2024.
