Blind; sixth; or a diminutive of Elisabeth
Sissi is primarily used as a diminutive for names like Cecilia, meaning 'blind', or Elisabeth, meaning 'pledged to God'. It is most famously associated with Empress Elisabeth of Austria, whose nickname was actually 'Sisi'. In modern contexts, it is often treated as a standalone name with a playful, European flair.
