History: From the Latin Expeditus, meaning freed from fetters. Saint Expédit is venerated in France as the patron saint of urgent causes — people pray to him when they need fast solutions. The name saw modest use in France during the 1930s and 1940s, peaking at 9 births in 1938 and 1940. It was most popular in overseas French departments like Réunion and Martinique, where the cult of Saint Expédit remains strong to this day. The name virtually disappeared from mainland France after the 1940s.
