The baby name Etty is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced ET-ee (ˈɛti).
Etty is English, Hebrew, Italian in Origin.
Etty is a sweet, pared-down diminutive used in English and Dutch for several names, most commonly Esther/Hester and Henrietta/Harriet. As a short form of Esther (Hebrew/Persian roots), it carries the widely cited meaning "star," with scholarly links to Persian sitara and the Babylonian goddess Ishtar. When derived from Henrietta/Harriet - the French and English feminines of Henry - it inherits the Germanic sense "home ruler" (heim + ric). In Hebrew and Dutch contexts it often appears as Eti/Etty for Esther.
The name flourished in 19th-century Britain as an independent register form for girls called Esther, Henrietta, or other -et/-etta names, and persists in the Netherlands and Jewish communities; diarist Etty Hillesum is a notable bearer. Today Etty fits the vintage-nickname trend. Variants include Ettie, Etti, Ety, and Eti; related cognates are Etta and Hetty.
