Buffie

Buffie is a feminine name that originated as a diminutive form of Elizabeth, though it's now considered a name in its own right. The name has English origins and gained some popularity in the United States during the mid-20th century, particularly in the 1950s and 1960s. Buffie has a playful, friendly sound that contributed to its appeal during that era. The name has declined in usage in recent decades, making it relatively uncommon for newborns today. Some people may associate the name with Buffie Carruth, a reality TV personality, though the name doesn't have many prominent cultural references. Its rarity today gives it a distinctive quality for those who bear it.

Pronounced BUF-ee.

As of October 2026, Buffie ranked #9442 in US births in 1985 SSA, peaked at #1123 in 1968.
