The name Worthy is of English origin, derived from the Middle English word 'worthy', which means 'having worth' or 'deserving'. It was initially used as an adjective to describe someone of high value or merit, but over time, it has evolved into a given name. The name Worthy is often associated with nobility and honor, reflecting the positive connotations of its original meaning.
"Worthy is not a common name, with only five or fewer births recorded annually for most years since the late 1800s. There are peaks in popularity around World War I and in the early 1920s, but it has remained quite rare overall."
