Mitzi
[ˈmɪtsi]Meaning
German diminutive of Maria
Background Story
Mitzi is a German diminutive of Maria that became a given name in its own right, even outside Germany. It was borrowed into English from German in the 20th century, and early-20th-century American actresses adopted it as part of their stage names. In the United States it first appeared among the top 1,000 names for baby girls in 1930, peaked in 1955, and dropped off the list after 1979. Related forms include Mia, Ria and Maja.
