ArchivesChichi
I've heard a name in a movie: Chichi (tshee-tshee). The girl is Argentinian, with German origins. I think it's a nn. Any idea?

It is a nn
Chichi is a very common nn in Latin American countries. Some countries prn. it chee-CHEE (Central American countries, mostly) and other prn it with the distress on the first syllable: CHEE-chee. Chichi is a Spanish expression that means "baby", "small". It comes from baby-talking the word "Chiqui" (CHEE-key) which is an abbreviation of Chiquito/a which is Spanish for "small", "baby"
In Costa Rica, a girlfriend is called a "Chichí" (chee-CHEE). "La Chichí de Rodrigo" would translate into "Rodrigo's girlfriend".
In other countries, Chichi is a nn for either boy or girls. I personally know a guy and a girl (not related to each other) that were called "chichi" when they were young. This is a nn that people get for being the baby in the family.
Hope this helps,
