The baby name Gitty is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced GIT-ee (IPA: /ˈɡɪti/).
Gitty is Hebrew in Origin.
Gitty is a Yiddish feminine given name, most often a pet form of Gittel/Gitl, built on the Yiddish/German root gut "good." It therefore carries the sense of "good," "kind," or "virtuous," akin to the related name Guta. The spelling with -y reflects English influence and is common in North American Haredi and Hasidic circles.
Documented in Ashkenazi communities across Eastern Europe, the name appears in 18th-20th century synagogue registers and continues in diaspora usage today. Variants and cognates include Gitel, Gitl, Gittel, Gittle, Giti, Gitke (a diminutive), and Gitte/Gitti; note that Gitte/Gitti can also be a short form of Brigitte in German and Scandinavian contexts, unrelated in meaning. Gitty is sometimes confused with Gita (Sanskrit "song") or Persian Giti ("world"), but those are separate names. As a given name or affectionate nickname, Gitty preserves a warm, virtue-based meaning with a compact, friendly sound.
