Creedence
Meaning of Creedence
Drawing on Latin credentia (“belief, trust”) via Old French creance, the unisex name Creedence conveys a sense of steadfast faith that echoes the classical Persian virtue of etemād (اعتماد). Pronounced kree-dens—/kriːˈdəns/ in British English and /kriːˈdɛns/ in American—the name wears its etymology lightly, offering both historical depth and modern resonance. Although modest in frequency—ranked near 888th in the United States with 36 births recorded in 2024—Creedence has maintained a quiet persistence over recent years. In analytical terms, this steady yet subdued popularity resembles a bridge between inherited conviction and contemporary individuality. It might not command a sold-out stadium like its musical namesake, Creedence Clearwater Revival, yet its quiet resilience speaks volumes, blending the gravitas of classical languages with a hint of dry wit. For parents seeking a name that balances heritage, integrity, and an undercurrent of poetic strength, Creedence stands as a softly glowing lantern—a subtle beacon of credibility in an age of fleeting trends.
