History & Origin
Mitsy is Mitzi respelled. Mitzi began as a South German diminutive of Maria, and both spellings traveled to America as a bright, informal name. Mitsy simply writes the buzzy z as an s, keeping the link back to Maria and Hebrew Miriam.
Mitsy stayed rare throughout, reaching a small high around 1975 before fading. A Mitsy of that era is now in her forties or fifties, and the spelling reads as a personal, phonetic take on the already-uncommon Mitzi.
