Zettie is a distinctive and unique given name of Latin origin, derived from the Roman family name Caetia. This name has been used sparsely throughout history, adding to its rarity and allure. It is composed of the elements 'Cet' or 'Caet', which mean 'hundred', and 'ius', signifying 'youth'. Therefore, Zettie could be interpreted as 'young one hundred'. The name ends with a vibrant 'ie' sound, giving it a playful and energetic ring.
"Zettie saw a significant surge in popularity during the late 19th to early 20th century, with peak years being 1915 and 1916 (33 births each), and 1924 (49 births). However, it declined steadily thereafter, dropping below 10 births per year from 1958 onwards, with the last recorded birth in 1966. Over this period, a total of 1458 Zetties were born."
