What does Hope mean?
/ˈhoʊp/1 syllableOrigin: English and a surname

Hope is a straightforward virtue word name, taken from the English word for a feeling of expectation and desire for good things to come. It has also long served as a surname, later adopted as a given name in its own right.

It's a small word that carries a lot of warmth, an optimistic choice for a pet who came into your life at the right moment, or simply one who lights up a room.
