Sissy

Meaning of Sissy

Sissy, pronounced SIH-see, began as a sunny nickname for the Latin charmer Cecilia (“blind to limits”) and for Elisabeth (“pledged to God”), then stepped out at its own fiesta and never looked back. The name carries the sparkle of Austria’s beloved Empress “Sisi,” the easy warmth of a telenovela heroine, and the playful echo of a little sister calling “come play!” She has danced on and off U.S. lists for years—never crowded, always memorable—like a hidden gem glinting on a Caribbean beach. Sissy is short, sweet, and friendly on every tongue from Miami to Madrid, her two crisp syllables snapping like castanets. Parents who choose her usually want a vintage hug with a modern twirl, proof that a tiny word can hold a heart full of sunlight.
