Benedicte is a unique and elegant female given name of Latin origin, derived from the word 'benedictus', which means 'blessed'. It is a variant spelling of Benedictine, originally referring to a member of the Order of St. Benedict. While it has been more commonly used as a male name in the past, Benedicte has seen an increase in popularity among females in recent years.
"Benedicte is quite unique - there were only five babies born with that name each year from 2005 onwards."
