Fife

Fife is a rare gender-neutral name originating from Scottish. The meaning of Fife is 'small flute.' Fife was first found as a surname in the county of Fife, where the family was noble, before the Norman Conquest and the arrival of Duke William at Hastings in 1066 A.D. Fife also originated from Gaelic among the Irish, where legend says the name Fife was from the legendary Pictish hero Fib. Fib was a seventh-century mythological prince in the county of Fife and the son of King Cruithne, who ruled all Picts for 100 years. After his father's death, Fib became King of Fife and ruled the kingdom with his six brothers for 24 years. Over the years, many indigenes of Fife left their homeland in Scotland for Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, West Indies, and North America, and the name had several variations, like Fyfe, Phyffe, Fyffe, and Phyfe. One of the prominent people named Fife was Ralph Elmer Fife, an American Seaman First Class from California. He was an indispensable seaman who served with the 'USS Arizona' and lost his life in 1941 during the attack on Pearl Harbour. The name Fife inspires idealism, resoluteness, and cautiousness.
