**Mitzi**or **Mitzy** (sometimes **Mitzie**) is a feminine given name of [German](/source/Germans) origin. Originally a [nickname](/source/Nickname) for girls named [Maria](/source/Maria_(given_name)) in [German](/source/German_language)-speaking populations, Mitzi became a given name in its own right, even outside of Germany. Several early-20th-century American actresses chose it as part of their [stage name](/source/Stage_name), for example [Mitzi Green](/source/Mitzi_Green) and [Mitzi Gaynor](/source/Mitzi_Gaynor), increasing its popularity. In the [United States](/source/United_States), Mitzi first appeared on the [Social Security Administration](/source/Social_Security_Administration)'s list of the top 1,000 most popular names for baby girls in 1930, peaked in 1955, and has since fallen out of favor, dropping off the list entirely after 1979.[1]
