Etymology & Historical Origin of the Baby Name Destiney

Destiney is a misspelling of Destiny, an English vocabulary word used to describe a person’s preordained future (i.e., fate) or an inner purpose of life that can be actively discovered and carried out. The name suggests the “power of fate” from a religious perspective, or an idea that there exists a fixed natural order in the universe from a secular point of view. The word originates from the Old French “destinée,” a derivative of the Latin “destinare” meaning “to determine, make firm, establish” (i.e., that which has been firmly established by fate).

Popularity

OF THE GIRL NAME DESTINEY

Destiney appeared on the female naming charts for the first time in 1993. No surprise, this was the year that Destiny was about to hit America’s Top 100 list. As Destiny’s success continued, the spelling modifications of Destiney and Destinee went along for the ride. Technically speaking, Destinee is a valid spelling (the French version of the word is destinée), but Destiney looks more like a misspelling. Oops! Either way, Destiny has been by far the preferred spelling of this name, which got as high as position #22 on the charts in 2001. The best Destiney ever managed was #535 in 1999. In fact, this particular spelling is now pretty much out of circulation, having fallen off the Top 1000 list in 2010. We guess that was just her “destiney”.
