The OED s.v. fortitude has the following definition:
2. Moral strength or courage. Now only in passive sense: Unyielding
courage in the endurance of pain or adversity. (One of the cardinal
virtues.)
This exact spelling is dated to 1520.
Since fortitude is one of the cardinal virtues, I believe that this
order name fits the meta-pattern "Orders named for virtues" from the
August 2005 LoAR. I found no conflicts. This is a gorgeous name.
Ursula Georges.
