Meaning & origin
Charitie is a rare spelling of the virtue name Charity, first recorded in the U.S. in 1973. It saw its most frequent use in the 1970s, with a peak in 1976. Since then, usage has been sporadic and it has never ranked among the top 1000 names. As a variant of a classic Puritan virtue name, Charitie offers a distinctive twist on a familiar concept, but remains extremely uncommon.
Charitie is a respelling of Charity, which comes from the English vocabulary word charity, itself from Latin caritas meaning 'dearness, love.' In Christian theology, charity is one of the three theological virtues. The name was used by Puritans in the 17th century and later revived in various spellings.
