About the name Fae
Fae belongs to the English & American tradition. Its roots are documented, even though its precise meaning is not recorded in the standard references — an honest gap we prefer to a confident guess.
In the United States, Fae first appears in Social Security records in 1889. It climbed to its best-ever rank of #683 in 1897, and in 2024 34 babies received the name — 2,643 in total since 1880. Those are the official counts, not estimates.
