📖 About Hope
Hope is an English feminine virtue name representing optimistic expectation of good things to come. One of the three theological virtues alongside Faith and Charity, it has deep Christian roots and was especially popular among Puritan settlers in New England from the 16th century onward. In classical mythology, Hope (Elpis) was the last spirit left in Pandora's box — a timeless symbol of resilience. The name retains its warmth and simplicity across the English-speaking world today.
