Jettie

With a name like Jettie, baby might just be a leader and advocate in the making. Jettie has Danish roots, fitting in well amongst names like Jette and Jetti as another shortened form of Henriette. If you and baby know any Henrys or Henriettes, this name could be a lovely way to honor them while still giving your little one a title that is uniquely theirs. Jettie, Henriette, and Henry all derive from the German name Heimirich, which means “home ruler.” Every time little Jettie stands up for those closest to them or makes a new friend feel welcome and at home, you’ll see the qualities of a leader in them. Jettie could also be related to another German name, Gjertine, the feminine form of Gerard. These titles lend Jettie the translation “powerful spear,” reminding baby to use their talents and skills for good.
