What Does the Name Mysti Mean?
Mysti is a variant spelling of Misty, an English given name taken from the adjective misty, meaning "covered with mist" or "full of mist." The adjective comes from the noun mist, which appears in Old English as mist, meaning "mist, dimness, or darkness." The meaning is literal and descriptive; the y and final i in Mysti are spelling changes without separate meanings. The spelling also does not make Mysti a form of mystic or mystery.
Mysti Name History & Origins
Misty is an English word name formed directly from the adjective rather than from an older personal name. That distinguishes it from inherited names such as John or Mary, whose forms pass through earlier languages. The respelling Mysti is an alternative to Misty; it keeps the same pronunciation and derivation but uses y in the first syllable and i at the end. Its history is therefore the history of a spelling variant, not of a separate root.
