Mitzie

Mitzie is a feminine given name and, less commonly, a surname. It is most often encountered as a diminutive or pet form of Mitzi, which originated as a German nickname for Maria or Margarete. The spelling Mitzie reflects English-language phonetics and is one of several variants, including Mitzi and Mitzy. In some cases, Mitzie is used as a given name in its own right rather than solely as a nickname.

Historically, Mitzie/Mitzi enjoyed modest popularity in the English-speaking world during the mid-20th century, particularly in the United States and the United Kingdom, where it was used both as a nickname and as a formal given name. In contemporary usage, it remains relatively uncommon but persists in records, literature, and public life. The name often carries a cheerful, approachable association in English-language media.

Variants and related names include Mitzi, Mitzy, and Mitzie. In non-English-speaking contexts, corresponding diminutives may differ, but the core link to Maria or Margarete remains a common source for the name.

Notable individuals and fictional characters named Mitzie appear in various records and works, reflecting the name’s historical presence in popular culture.
