Sisi

Meaning of Sisi

Sisi is a feminine given name of Spanish and Portuguese origin, originally a diminutive of Cecilia, itself from the Latin Caecilia, derived from caecus meaning “blind.” It achieved historical prominence through Empress Elisabeth of Austria—affectionately called Sisi—and remains in modest use across Latin America. Pronounced SEE-see (/ˈsi.si/), the name’s rhythmic syllabic repetition aligns with Latin naming aesthetics that favor sonorous, vowel-rich forms. In the United States, Sisi has appeared infrequently but steadily in the early 2000s, with five to nine newborns annually between 2000 and 2003, ranking from 893 to 906. This succinct, culturally layered name appeals to parents seeking a fusion of classical roots and contemporary simplicity.
