Meaning & History

From the English word excellence meaning "The quality of being excellent; brilliance" or "An excellent or valuable quality; something at which any someone excels; a virtue".

The vocabulary word comes from Old French excellence, from Latin excellentia (which in turn, comes from excellēns (“elevated, exalted”) +‎ -ia, present participle of excellō (“elevate, exult”)).

As a given name, it's most common in Nigeria and several African countries.
