Faith's name and it's meanings
Most of the time we hear the name Faith associated with a pious woman who's raising her hellfire children in the 'ways of the lord', we did, that is, until the introduction of Faith, the bad-assed 'Rogue Slayer' on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, portrayed by Eliza Dushku. Since then Faith has carried a whole new meaning, now we think of Faith to be strong, some even think of her as evil, we see her as wild, sexy, unpredictable and tortured, much the same way we saw Angel in BtVS's seasons 1-3.
Below are some of the other ways that the name Faith can be interpreted.

Kabalarian Philosophy Says:
The name Faith creates a very independent, practical, analytical nature with skillful business abilities. You desire freedom from restrictions and authority in order that you can pursue your own ambitions. Material and financial success are the focus of your interests, but sacrificing much for material ambition will result in a lack of harmony and balance in your personal life, particularly a lack of appreciation for social courtesies and things of a more inspirational nature. Since you often appear to be too unfeeling, factual, and calculating in your dealings with others, your personal happiness and fulfillment can suffer through difficulty in conveying your feminine qualities of love and affection. Health problems center in the head affecting the eyes, ears, sinuses, or teeth. Also, tension could afflict the female generative organs.
