It originated as an affectionate diminutive of Agnes (meaning 'pure' or 'holy') or Vanessa. The name has a playful, whimsical quality that evokes images of Scotland's misty lochs and rich storytelling traditions. Despite its connection to a mythical creature, Nessie has been used as a given name and nickname throughout the years, particularly in Scotland and among those with Scottish heritage.

Its distinctive cultural associations make it an uncommon but recognizable choice for parents seeking a name with both personality and a connection to Scottish heritage.

This spelling variation with '-ie' rather than the more common '-y' (Penny) adds a touch of uniqueness while maintaining the familiar pronunciation. Pennie has occasionally appeared on name popularity charts, particularly during the mid-20th century, though it's never reached the heights of related names like Penelope.
