''''Mitzi '''or '''Mitzy''' (sometimes '''Mitzie''') is a feminine given name of [[Germans|German]] origin. Originally a [[nickname]] for girls named [[Maria (given name)|Maria]] in [[German language|German]]-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]], for example [[Mitzi Green]] and [[Mitzi Gaynor]], increasing its popularity. In the [[United States]], Mitzi first appeared on the [[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.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.ssa.gov/cgi-bin/babyname.cgi|title=Popular Baby Names|last=OACT|website=www.ssa.gov|access-date=2018-07-16}}</ref> == People == *[[Mitzi Cajayon]] (born 1978), Filipino politician *[[Mitzie Collins]] (born 1941), American folk musician *[[Mitzi Cunliffe]] (1918–2006), American sculptor *[[Mitzi Gaynor]] (born 1931), American actress, singer and dancer born Francesca Marlene de Czanyi von Gerber *[[Mitzi Green]] (1920–1969), American child actress born Elizabeth Keno *[[Mitzi Hajos]] (1889–1970), Hungarian born American actress *[[Mitzi Kapture]] (born 1962), American actress *[[Mitzy Larue]], a member of the National Assembly of Seychelles *[[Mitzi Mayfair]] (1914–1976), stage name of American dancer and actress Emylyn Pique *[[Mitzi McCall]] (born 1932), American comedienne and actress. *[[Mitzi Shore]], co-founder and operator of the Los Angeles comedy club The Comedy Store and mother of comedian and actor Pauly Shore. *[[Montgomery McFate]] (born 1966), nicknamed "Mitzy", cultural anthropologist and defense and national security analyst *[[Maria Reiter]] (1911–1992), known as "Mitzi", associated romantically with Adolf Hitler in the late 1920s *[[Mitzy (fashion designer)]] (born 1955), Mexican fashion designer born Cebedeo García Cárdenas == Fictional characters == *[[Das Dreimäderlhaus#American version: Blossom Time|Mitzi]], in the 1921 Broadway play ''Blossom Time'' *Mitzi, in the 1950 Agatha Christie novel ''[[A Murder Is Announced]]'' *Mitzi, in the 1932 film ''[[One Hour with You]]'' *Mitzi, in the 1994 film ''[[The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert]]'' and the subsequent musical *Mitzi Mozzarella, the Animatronic Cheerleader Mouse in [[The Rock-afire Explosion]] Music Show *Mitzy, in the 1998 animated series ''[[The Secret Files of the Spy Dogs]]'' *Miss Mitzi, in the 2004 Peter Chelsom movie ''[[Shall We Dance?
