Charity is also a term in Christian theology, i.e. loving kindness towards others; it is held to be the ultimate perfection of the human spirit, because it is said to both glorify and reflect the nature of God. In its most extreme form charity can be self-sacrificial. Charity is one conventional English translation of the Greek term agape. See also virtue and alms.

Charity is one of the three virtues.

Charity is also used as a Christian- or forename.
