Virgie is an uncommon feminine given name of American origin, derived from Virginia. It is often used as a short form or nickname for Virginia but can also stand alone as a unique and distinctive name choice. The name Virginia itself is derived from the Latin word "viridis," meaning green, in reference to England's green landscapes when it was first colonized by English settlers. Virgie has been used sparingly throughout history, with notable bearers including American actress Virgieitted (born Virginitha Virginia) and American baseball player Virgieirio (full name Virgilio Fernandez). However, overall the name remains quite rare and unusual, making it a unique option for parents looking to give their daughter an uncommon yet memorable name.
The name Virgie experienced significant popularity fluctuations over the years, with its peak occurring between 1919 and 1923, during which there were consistently high numbers of births (20 to 24 per year). However, by the late 1930s and early 1940s, the name's popularity began to decline dramatically, with as few as five births recorded in some years. Overall, from 1888 to 1971, there were a total of 668 babies named Virgie.
