Meaning & Origins
From the abstract noun denoting luck or good fortune (via Old French from Latin felicitas; compare Felix), first used as a given name in the 17th century. It also represents the English form of the Late Latin personal name Felicitas, which was borne by several early saints, notably a slave who was martyred in 203 together with her mistress Perpetua and several other companions.

German and Dutch: from Middle High German meier, a status name for a steward, bailiff, or overseer, which later came to be used also to denote a tenant farmer, which is normally the sense in the many compound surnames formed with this term as a second element. Originally it denoted a village headman (ultimately from Latin māior ‘greater’, ‘superior’).
