Comments for the name Etta

A famous Etta is rhythm and blues singer Etta James, best known for her fantastic rendition of "At Last."

Etta James' name was actually Jamesetta Hawkes, which she promptly shifted around.

Etta Place was a companion of the American outlaws Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, both members of the outlaw gang known as the Wild Bunch.

Etta is the number one in Swedish.

Ett is number one in Swedish, not Etta.

An Italian suffix, meaning "small one".

I hate all names ending in -etta, they all sound like names of unintelligent country girls from several decades back. This is just a minimalist variation of all those hideous names.

Love the sassy, classy, old school sound of Etta. Of course it makes me think of Etta James!

I don't like this name because it sounds the same as the terrorist group ETA. Nasty associations.

My step-grandmother's middle name was DeEtta. I've never seen it anywhere else. Her daughter and a friend gave their daughters the DeEtta as a first name.

Etta Zuber Falconer was the first African American to receive her PHD in mathematics.

Sounds bad, has no class, and like the other person said above: it's not, or doesn't sound, intelligent.

Etta Moten Barnett (1901-2004) was an African-American actress and singer.

Could also be a nickname for Elizabeth, Elisabetta, Jetta, etc.

I actually like this name! I think it's very charming and old fashioned and much more unique than the still pretty but very overused Ella.
