Hettie is English in Origin.
Hettie is an English diminutive chiefly of Henrietta and Harriet - the feminine forms of Henry, from Germanic Heimirich (heim "home" + ric "ruler") - so it carries the sense "ruler of the household." It also serves as a pet form of Hester (from Esther), sometimes giving it the meaning "star."
Recorded in Britain from the 18th century, Hettie thrived in Victorian and Edwardian naming and was common in the United States before waning mid‑20th century; recent vintage trends have prompted a quiet revival. Records also show steady use in Scotland and northern England as a familiar short form. Notable bearers include Hetty Sorrel in George Eliot’s Adam Bede and financier Hetty (Henrietta) Green. Variant spellings and related forms include Hetty, Hettie, Ettie, Hattie, Harriet, Henrietta, French Henriette, Italian Enrichetta, and Spanish/Catalan Enriqueta.
