Accepted

Meaning

Accepted is an English Puritan-style virtue name built from the English adjective and verb 'accepted,' ultimately from Latin roots behind 'accept' and 'acceptare' ('to receive' or 'to take willingly'). In the 19th-century name books, it appears as a recorded English given name, with examples such as Baptized Accepted and Accepted Frewen. The form is straightforwardly descriptive rather than traditional biblical or saint-based naming.

Origin

Fun fact

This name was actually borne by historical Englishmen, including Accepted Frewen, who later became Archbishop of York.
