History & Origin

Mitzie is a variant of Mitzi, the German short form of Maria, a version of Mary. In German-speaking lands Mitzi was a common affectionate name, and it reached America with a bright, spirited feel. Its meaning ties back through Maria to the Hebrew roots of Mary.

Mitzie saw modest American use, cresting near 1962 when perky nickname-names were in style, then fading. A woman given it then is in her sixties now. The Mitzi spelling is a touch better known, and both read today as vintage German-flavored pet names.

Did you know? Mitzie carries a whiff of old Vienna: Mitzi was the everyday German nickname for Maria, worn by countless Bavarian and Austrian girls before it charmed American parents.
