Bitter; star of the sea
Mitzi originated as a German diminutive of Maria. While its exact meaning is debated due to its roots in the Hebrew name Maryam, it is most commonly associated with 'bitterness' or 'star of the sea.' It gained independent popularity in the mid-20th century as a spunky, standalone choice.
