What is the meaning of the name Titti ?

Titti is Swedish in Origin.

Titti is a Scandinavian and Italian hypocoristic used as a stand‑alone name in the 20th century. In Sweden (and Swedish-speaking Finland) it functions chiefly as a pet form of Birgitta/Brigitta (Bridget), whose Old Irish root Brigit means “exalted, lofty.” It enjoyed modest popularity in Sweden from the 1940s–1960s; bearers include singer Titti Sjöblom and broadcaster Titti Schultz. As an Italian nickname, Titti is heard for Tiziana and occasionally other T‑names.

Italian Tiziana derives from Latin Titianus, a cognomen from the gens Titia/Titius, of uncertain meaning, so Titti there carries a Roman-family association rather than a lexical sense. Variants and related forms include Titi, Titty, Titina; for the Birgitta route, see Birgit, Britta, Gitta, Gittan. In Italy the name also echoes pop culture, since Tweety is dubbed “Titti,” giving it a light, playful tone. Note that in English contexts the Titty/Titti spelling may attract slang connotations.
