Meaning & Origin
Ettie is a girl's baby name of Old English origin, a Victorian nickname for Ethelinda, Henrietta, or Esther, from the Old English meaning 'noble' or from the Hebrew Esther meaning 'star.' Ettie was widely used in late-Victorian and Edwardian England as an affectionate diminutive.
Sweet and genuinely antique, Ettie has the warmth of a name from a grandmother's photograph album — vintage and endearing, waiting to be rediscovered by parents who love the prettiest old-fashioned nicknames.
