Our story of Litzy
Our story of Litzy is a story of a name with a birth decade. Mexican naming through the twentieth century built girls' names freely from L and Y fronts and -tzy and -tzi endings — Litzy, Mitzy, Yaretzi. A singer and actress carrying the name became widely known in the 1990s, and the American registers show it rising from then with Mexican migration. There is no older word behind it.
