Meaning & Origin
A dormant conical volcano in the Andes mountains in southern Peru.
Misti is a girl's baby name of Old English origin, a variant spelling of Misty, derived from the English word misty, evoking fog, haze, and atmospheric mystery. It became a given name in the mid-20th century as nature-inspired word names gained popularity.
Misti was most popular in the 1970s and 80s. Like Misty, it evokes early-morning meadows and soft-focus landscapes — a name with an inherent dreamlike quality that suited the era's taste for atmospheric, evocative names.
