Minnie

Mickey's cartoon sweetheart

Minnie is a diminutive of names like Wilhelmina, Minerva, or Mary.

It was popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, now somewhat old-fashioned but still used.

The name is strongly associated with Minnie Mouse, Disney's cartoon character created in 1928.

Minnie was my great-grandmother's name.
