About Bettie
Bettie is a feminine name originating as a diminutive form of Elizabeth, which derives from the Hebrew name Elisheva, meaning 'God is my oath' or 'devoted to God.' Bettie represents a variation of the more common 'Betty,' with both forms peaking in popularity in the United States during the 1920s and 1930s. The name carries a distinctly vintage, mid-century American charm, often evoking images of the 1950s. The spelling variant with an 'ie' ending gives it a slightly more informal, affectionate quality. While less common today than in previous generations, Bettie has maintained some recognition through cultural figures like pin-up model Bettie Page. The name's retro appeal has attracted some renewed interest among parents drawn to vintage naming trends.
Bettie is also given to boys.
Pronounced BET-ee.
As of October 2026, Bettie ranked #4047 in US births in 1959 SSA, peaked at #2225 in 1933.
