Minnie is a feminine name formed as a fresh-faced diminutive to a bevy of ancient titles. Predominantly linked to Wilhelmina, Minnie is rooted in the German language, meaning "will," "desire," "helmet" or "protection. A loveable nickname dressed up in a playful intonation, Minnie paints quite a complex character. How fitting then that the name finds equally compelling ties to the ancient Roman goddess Minerva. As the deity of crafts and wisdom, Minerva instills Minnie with an alternative Latin origin and the meaning "mind" or "intellect." Far more than a pretty pet name, underestimate Minnie if you dare. Plus, we can be sure that the iconic Minnie Mouse and Minnie Driver would approve.
