feminine · German origin
Fritzi is a German feminine diminutive of Friederike, itself the feminine form of Friedrich, which derives from the Old High German elements fridu, meaning peace, and rihhi, meaning power or ruler. The name carries the sense of peaceful ruler and belongs to a large family of Germanic names built on these two productive roots. It was used as an affectionate pet form in German-speaking countries and gained some independent standing as a given name in its own right. Related forms include Frieda, Frederica, and the masculine Friedrich and Fritz.
