Bambie, of French origin, translates to 'bambi' meaning 'deer' in Italian. It's a unisex given name that has gained popularity worldwide. This unique choice is often associated with the Disney character Bambi, from the 1923 novel by Felix Salten and the subsequent animated film. However, it's important to note that this name predates its popularization through media.
"Bambie's popularity as a baby name peaked twice, once in the late 1950s to early 1960s with a high of 15 births in 1960, and again in the late 1970s to early 1980s, reaching its highest point at 20 births in 1979. Overall, over two hundred twenty-seven babies were named Bambie between 1954 and 1985."
