Fayne is an uncommon given name of uncertain origin, with suggestions including variants of Faye or Faith, Welsh Ffynnon meaning "spring", African names Fayomi ("joy has come") or Fayisola ("returned from abroad"), but it was popularized by author Anne Rice in her Vampire Chronicles series. Despite its rarity and undetermined origins, Fayne's unique sound and varied interpretations make it an appealing choice for some parents today.
