Happy Origin and Meaning

The name Happy is a girl's name of English origin meaning "happy, joy".

Many virtue names have long been in style or have seen a resurgence in recent years. Happy, however joyous, seems unlikely to join this trend. This could be because it doesn't have a solid history of being popularly used (in comparison to Joy or Hope) and because it's such a familiarly used word in day to day life (unlike Verity or Felicity).

It was notably borne by the not-so-happy character Happy Loman in Arthur Miller's play Death of a Salesman, by a cat in the anime and manga series, Fairy Tail, and by Happy Quinn from the TV show Scorpion.
