About Honesti
Honesti is a feminine virtue name derived from the concept of honesty, which stems from Latin 'honestas' meaning 'honor' or 'reputation.' Unlike the more common Honesty, this spelling variation with an 'i' ending gives the name a distinctive, almost Italian or Latin flair. Virtue names gained popularity during the Puritan era but have seen renewed interest in modern times as parents seek names with clear positive meanings and aspirational qualities. Honesti remains quite rare, making it an uncommon choice that still carries immediate meaning. The name suggests integrity, truthfulness, and moral uprightness, qualities many parents would wish to instill in their daughters.
Pronounced ho-NES-tee.
As of October 2026, Honesti ranked #2942 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #2216 in 2023.
