Purpose
Purpose Origin and Meaning
Bold word names are in style and this one is a quietly used option, with the nickname possibility of Posy. Conveying a sense of drive and determination, Purpose may be given to child to encourage direction their life, or it could reflect the notion that a child brings meaning to the lives of their parent/s.
Alternatively, it could be viewed as a subtly spiritual option, connected to spiritual purpose, which can be summarized as an awareness of how one's existence connects to everything else and to something greater, whatever that may be. In a Christian context for example, it reflects the idea that humans are created in God's image and must therefore live in a way that glorifies God.
Direct and driven, Purpose could fit in with the likes of Pius, Favor, Honor, and Shine, and was given to 22 girls in a recent year (the highest number on record).
