Zettie (f)
by LadyBug (LadyBug18)

I was reading a recipe for peanut brittle when I saw this name: Zettie (feminine). The article said the lady was 85-years-old and the name was attached to a comon English surname. My first thought is that Zettie is a nickname for something comon and popular such as Elizabeth (like Bettie / Betty). If anyone has any information or suggestion on Zettie, it's origin and it's meaning I'd be most grateful.LauriePhotobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Perhaps it was originally a pet form of Suzette, just as Nettie was originally a pet form of names like Jeannette or Annette.

My guess would be that the origin isn't English, but German. Such as Zettler, Zettel, Zettwoch, etc.I don't know how accurate this link/site is, but it has some info that might interest you:http://www.houseofnames.com/xq/asp.fc/qx/zettler-family-crest.htm

A nickname for Suzette or Lizette, perhaps?Surrealism is the magical surprise of finding a lion in a wardrobe where you were sure of finding shirts - Frida Kahlo
