Mitty

Mitty is a gender-neutral English name and a diminutive of any moniker that includes the -mit sound. From Mitchell to Mehetabel, many titles can be shortened to Mitty. It's even been used as a nickname for the Aramaic Martha and the Hebrew Miriam! Determining a single definition for this title would be quite challenging, as there's a long list! From religious endearments like "who is like God" and "God makes happy" to "wished-for child" and "the lady," Mitty's meanings certainly cover a wide range of topics! Most recognizably, Mitty is the last name of Walter Mitty, the daydreaming main character of the short story and film The Secret Life of Walter Mitty.
