Lutie

Lutie is a feminine name with vintage American charm, originally emerging as a diminutive form of names such as Charlotte, Lucinda, or Lucretia. Popular in rural America during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Lutie has a sweet, nostalgic quality that evokes simpler times. The name experienced modest usage during the 1880s through 1910s but has since become quite rare, almost disappearing from usage records by the mid-20th century. This rarity now gives Lutie a distinctive quality that might appeal to parents seeking names with historical American resonance and a homespun, folksy charm. With its soft sounds and gentle rhythm, Lutie offers a delicate alternative to more common vintage revivals, connecting to American heritage while remaining refreshingly uncommon.

Pronounced LOO-tee.

As of October 2026, Lutie ranked #5496 in US births in 1954 SSA, peaked at #382 in 1880.
