Meaning and background
The story behind Trinity
Trinity is an English word for a group of three, with a specific Christian meaning referring to Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Behind the Name traces English given-name use to that religious concept. Its three syllables are straightforward, but claiming it means 'loyalty' or 'unity of family' would be an unverified reinterpretation. The older theological meaning is the documented one.
