Wikipedia doesn't have the answer. Please don't bite my head off if there's a plaque somewhere I haven't read yet.

It sounds like a good Puritan name. They used to give people names like "Chastity", "Hopewell", and "Faith" ... hmm, so not all of those names fell entirely out of use :) Person sounds like it's meant to convey humbleness and "one of the people".
