Pennie is a feminine name most commonly understood as a diminutive or variant spelling of Penelope. While Penelope has Greek origins meaning 'weaver' or connected to 'penelops' (a type of duck), Pennie functions as its affectionate short form. The name might also be associated with English word 'penny,' giving it a bright, sweet quality. This spelling variation with '-ie' rather than the more common '-y' (Penny) adds a touch of uniqueness while maintaining the familiar pronunciation. Pennie has occasionally appeared on name popularity charts, particularly during the mid-20th century, though it's never reached the heights of related names like Penelope.
