Fifi is a playful and charming nickname that originated from the French word 'fifille,' meaning 'little daughter.' It was popularized by the famous French perfume, Chanel No. 5, which was named after the designer's pet dog, Fifi, who inspired her to create this timeless scent.
The name Fifi experienced fluctuations in popularity throughout the century, with peaks occurring between 1916 and 1928, again in the late 1960s to early 1970s, and a notable spike in 1974 with nine births. However, it was not consistently popular, as evidenced by periods of low occurrence such as from 1932 to 1952 and from 1971 to 1973. Overall, there were 141 babies named Fifi born between 1916 and 1974.
