Creed
Boy name · 11 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Creed: 11 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 5 births in 2022.
The name Creed comes directly from the Latin *credo*, meaning "I believe," and was adopted as a given name from the Christian creed—a formal statement of faith. In Scotland, it remains a modern, rare choice, more commonly used as a surname. Famous bearers include Creed Bratton, the actor and musician best known for playing a fictionalised version of himself on *The Office*, and Creed Humphrey, the American football centre for the Kansas City Chiefs. Culturally, the name gained a pop-culture boost from the *Rocky* spin-off film series *Creed*, though the title refers to the family surname, not a first name. As a virtue name in the same family as Faith and Grace, it appeals to parents seeking a bold, meaningful name with both religious and contemporary associations.
