Tettie

English, diminutive of Elizabeth

Tettie Origin and Meaning

The name Tettie is a girl's name.

Tettie is an uncommon feminine name that likely originated as a diminutive form of names like Henrietta, Antoinette, or Elizabeth. It follows the pattern of other nicknames ending with the affectionate '-ie' suffix common in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. While never achieving widespread popularity, Tettie would have been most commonly used during the Victorian era when elaborate nickname derivations were fashionable. Today, Tettie remains very rare, maintaining an old-fashioned, vintage charm that might appeal to parents seeking a truly distinctive name with historical roots but without modern popularity.
