English and Scottish: nickname from Middle English, Old French
vertu ‘moral worth’; ‘goodness’ (Latin virtus
‘manliness’, ‘valor’, ‘worth’). This may have been bestowed on a good
or pious person, it may alternatively have been a sarcastic nickname
for a prig, or it may have been borne by someone who had played the
part of Virtue in a medieval mystery play.
