Creed

Meaning of Creed

Creed strides in from ancient Rome. His root is the Latin verb “credō,” meaning “I believe.” English monks later shaped it into “creed,” a bold statement of faith. That one crisp syllable now thumps like a drumbeat of conviction. Parents hear it and picture a boy with a lion heart. Pop culture helps. Apollo and Adonis Creed punch the name onto the silver screen. The rock band Creed adds guitar riffs. Even quirky Creed from The Office sneaks in a grin. Numbers agree. U.S. charts show him climbing fast, nearly doubling since 2015. The name feels fresh yet time-tested, like an old coin still shining. It suits a baby who will plant his flag and shout, “Credo!” He may grow into a thinker, a leader, or a heavyweight champ. In any role, Creed carries the melody of belief.
