Mitzy Origin and Meaning

The name Mitzy is a girl's name.

Mitzy is a feminine name that originated as a diminutive form of Mitzi, which itself is a pet form of Maria or other names containing the element 'mit' or 'mitz.' With Germanic and Yiddish influences, it carries a cheerful, spirited quality that conveys playfulness and charm. The 'y' ending variation adds a modern American touch to the traditional spelling. Mitzy gained modest popularity in the mid-20th century, often associated with a vivacious, fun-loving personality. Though never among the most common names, it has maintained steady usage as an independent name rather than just a nickname. The name evokes vintage appeal while maintaining its youthful energy, making it distinctive without being completely unfamiliar.
