Hittie Origin and Meaning

The name Hittie is a girl's name.

Hittie is an uncommon feminine name with possible origins as a diminutive form of names like Henrietta or Mehitabel. In the latter case, it would share roots with the Hebrew meaning 'God makes happy.' Hittie was occasionally used in the 19th century, particularly in rural American communities, but has since fallen into obscurity. The name may also have connections to nicknames like Hettie or Hetty. Its short, distinctive sound has a quaint, vintage charm characteristic of the nickname-style given names popular in earlier eras. Today, Hittie remains extremely rare, making it a unique choice that carries a touch of nostalgic Americana.
