Modestie
Modestie Origin and Meaning
Modestie is a feminine name of French origin that embodies the virtue of modesty and humility. Derived from the Latin 'modestus,' meaning 'moderate' or 'modest,' this elegant name carries connotations of grace, restraint, and unpretentiousness. While relatively uncommon, Modestie offers a refined alternative to more popular virtue names. The French spelling adds a touch of sophistication and continental charm to the underlying virtue it represents. Throughout history, the name has been appreciated for its moral significance rather than trending popularity. Pronounced 'mo-des-TEE' in French, the name has a melodic quality that complements its virtuous meaning, making it a thoughtful choice for parents seeking a name with both beautiful sound and meaningful character.
