Zettie
Zettie Origin and Meaning
Zettie is a feminine name with American roots, often used as a diminutive form of names beginning with 'Z' such as Zetta or Zetella, or occasionally as a nickname for Elizabeth. Popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, particularly in the Southern United States, Zettie has a vintage charm that evokes simpler times. The name peaked in popularity around the 1900s but has since become quite rare, making it a distinctive choice for modern parents seeking uncommon vintage names. Zettie has a cheerful, lively sound with its bouncy 'z' and double 't' consonants. While lacking a specific meaning of its own, as a diminutive it carries the warm, affectionate quality characteristic of nicknames from this era.
