Best Answer

It comes from the female form of the Latin word for "blessed." It used to be a name that was chosen by some Catholic nuns, but it is no longer a common name for women, even in the church. The male version of the name "Benedict" (from the Latin word benedictus) can still be seen, including in the name chosen by Pope Benedict XVI.
