"Semper Fidelis" is Latin for "Ever faithful." This phrase has served as motto or title for several entities.
The motto signifies the dedication that individual Marines are expected to have loyalty to "Corps and Country" and to their fellow fighting men and women, for the rest of their days and beyond. Marines often reduce the phrase to "Semper Fi."

Semper Fi is a Marine Corp slogan that means "Always Faithful". It is based on the latin phrase "semper fidelus", but cuts off the last two syllables of fidelus. I suppose it makes it easier to remember, or faster to say...

It means "forever faithful," in Latin, of course. And it is the motto of the U.S. Marine Corps.
