Jettie

Meaning of Jettie

Jettie (pronounced JET-ee) brings vintage charm with a modern spark. Originally a Dutch pet form of Henrietta—with Germanic roots heim (“home”) and ric (“power”)—this name quietly means “little ruler,” ready to fill every room with warmth and strength. Like the gleam of a polished jet gemstone, Jettie suggests resilience and sleek style, perfect for a girl who’s as bold as she is sweet. Though it’s a rare pick (fewer than ten newborns claim the name each year in the U.S.), parents craving something nostalgic yet spunky are falling in love with its gentle sass. Latin-flair families sprinkle in a playful mi pequeña Jettie or Jettie bella, watching her bloom like bougainvillea in the sunshine. With just the right dash of sunshine and grit, Jettie feels like an invitation to write your own story.
