About Mitzi
Mitzi is a sparky German nickname name that might appeal to parents drawn to the genre of lively vintage girl names that proliferated in 1930's musicals. Actress and entertainer Mitzi Gaynor (born Francesca Marlene de Czani von Gerber) made this a notable name in mid-century America, where it ranked alongside Jerri, Sherri, Christi, Jodi, and Mimi.
Ultimately derived from Maria, Mary, and Miriam, Mitzi was on the US Top 1000 list consistently from 1947 until 1979, peaking at #430 in 1955. Today, Mitzi is only used quietly, but with Maisie, Millie, Winnie, and Joni is style, it may yet be rediscovered.
Pronounced MIT-zee.
As of October 2026, Mitzi ranked #5349 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #430 in 1955.
