Miss Havisham's home in Great Expectations is called Satis House. Satis means 'enough' in Latin. Her house is big and could have been a beautiful manor that would have everything needed to live provided for Miss Havisham without leaving the property. However, the name of this house is ironic because she fails to keep the house in good condition, and it decays. The house is no longer good 'enough' for anyone to live in.
