History & Origin
Mistee is a phonetic respelling of Misty, an English nature word that became fashionable as a girl's name in the 1960s and 1970s, helped along by the standard Misty being a period favorite. The -ee spelling is a stylistic touch. Mistee appears in United States records from the mid-1960s and reached a small high around 1974.
A girl named Mistee then would be in her fifties now, squarely in the Misty generation. The playful spelling never overtook the standard Misty and has faded; it reads as a soft, of-its-decade word-name rather than a revival candidate.
