SIGN UPCharisma is a female name of Greek origin, meaning "Personal Power" and "Attraction." The term charisma denotes a personal quality of magnetic charm or appeal. In sociology, political science, psychology, and management, it describes a type of leadership. In Christian theology, charisma appears as a Spiritual gift, an endowment with extraordinary power given by the Holy Spirit. The word charisma derives from the Ancient Greek word χάρισμα, which denotes a "favor freely given" and the "gift of grace." In religious praxis, the Ancient Greeks ascribed personality charisma to their pantheon of gods and goddesses, attributing charm, beauty, nature, creativity, and fertility to the individual Charites. The term also expanded into the connotations of divinely-conferred charisma and personality charisma, maintaining a mysterious, elusive quality. Max Weber introduced the concept of personality charisma as a form of authority, extending the meaning to denote an individual personality set apart from ordinary men and treated as endowed with supernatural or exceptional powers.
