Many thanks to Dawn and Irene. My wife's greatgrandfather Edwin Mortimer married an Ellen and went on to name their 9 children with names all starting with E including Edmund,Edgar,Ellen Edith and Erving(with an 'E') An Ettie who died in infancy might just have filled a 5 year gao between children and he must have had an original approach in naming children! Thanks again |

Hi, Have heard of Ettie as a shortened version of Henrietta before. Found this on a baby names site, hope it's of some help. The girl's name Ettie is related to Etta and Henrietta. Search for names similar to Ettie starting with Et- or ending with -ie, -tie, -ttie, -ettie. Ettie is a rather uncommon female first name, ranking 4158 out of 4275 for females of all ages in the 1990 U.S. Census. Ettie is a rare surname as it was not ranked for people of all ages in the 1990 U.S. Census. Dawn |

Hello Has anyone come across the name Ettie in families.This was the name as it was registered in the births and sadly in the deaths a year later. I would guess therefore it was not a nickname or shortened name.Any thoughts please? Regards Mike S |
