Migisii is Ojibwe in Origin.
Migisii is an Algonquian name rooted in Anishinaabemowin (Ojibwe) migizi/miigizi “bald eagle” and closely related to Cree mikisiw “eagle.” The double -ii in this form reflects long vowels found in several community orthographies, leading to modern personal-name spellings. It denotes the eagle - especially the bald eagle - a powerful emblem of strength, clarity of vision, guardianship, and connection to the sky; in many Anishinaabe and Cree traditions the eagle is a respected messenger.
Usage has been sporadic as a given name, more common in the past within clan identifiers, spirit names, and surnames translated as Eagle. In contemporary records it appears as a gender-neutral first or middle name. Variants and cognates include Migizi and Miigizi (Ojibwe), Mikisiw and Mikisew (Cree/anglicized), and the simplified Migisi. Related diminutives such as Migiziins “little eagle” appear in Ojibwe naming. Pronunciation typically approximates mih-GIH-see or mee-GEE-see, depending on dialect.
Migisii is absent from every birth registry and name dataset we follow. It's the kind of name that tends to be rare, regional, or newly made up. Whatever the reason, hardly anyone else has it.
