What is the meaning of the name Hattie ?

The baby name Hattie is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈhæti/ (HAT-ee).

Hattie is English in Origin.

Hattie is an English diminutive of Harriet, itself the English form of French Henriette, the feminine of Henri (Henry). Tracing back to the Germanic name Heinrich, it combines heim “home, estate” and ric “ruler, power,” yielding the meaning “ruler of the household” or “estate ruler.” First used as a pet form, Hattie developed into an independent given name in English-speaking countries.

The name found wide favor in the 19th and early 20th centuries, especially in the United States, then faded before enjoying a vintage revival in the 21st century. Notable bearers include Hattie McDaniel, the groundbreaking American actress, and fashion entrepreneur Hattie Carnegie. Variants and related forms include Hatty, Hettie, Etta, Ettie, Harriet, Henrietta, and Henriette. While brisk and friendly in tone, Hattie retains the solid, traditional roots of the Henry/Heinrich family, appealing to parents seeking a nickname style with historical substance.
