What is the meaning of the name Fifi ?

The baby name Fifi is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈfiːfi/ (FEE-fee).

Fifi is French in Origin.

Fifi is a lively hypocoristic chiefly associated with French, built by reduplicating the initial syllable and adding the -i ending (like Gigi or Lili). It most often shortens Joséphine and Sophie, and in English and Scots can arise from Euphemia via Effie; it is also used for Fiona or Felicity. Though long a pet name in 19th–20th‑century Francophone circles, it occasionally stands alone in English since the late 1900s, helped by figures such as actress Fifi d’Orsay, Egyptian entertainer Fifi Abdou, and British media personality Fifi Geldof. In West Africa, the masculine form Fiifi is a Fante variant of Kofi.

The meaning of Fifi depends on its source: Joséphine “God increases,” Sophia “wisdom,” Fiona “fair/white,” Felicity “happiness.” Variants and related forms include FiFi, Fifie, and Fiifi; longer anchors include Joséphine, Sophie/Sophia, Euphemia (Effie), Fiona, and Felicity.
