Where does the name Misty come from?
Misty comes from the English word misty, says Behind the Name, which goes back to Old English, and Wikipedia describes it as a feminine name based on the word mist. Behind the Name adds that the jazz song “Misty” (1954) by Erroll Garner may have helped make it popular as a name.
Other forms of Misty
Misti is the variant spelling Behind the Name lists. Misty is short and sweet already, so most Mistys just keep it, and the song gives friends something to sing at her.
Well-known Mistys
Ballet dancer Misty Copeland was born in Kansas City and grew up in San Pedro, Los Angeles. Wikipedia says she did not start ballet until 13, yet on June 30, 2015, she became the first African-American woman promoted to principal dancer in the 75-year history of American Ballet Theatre. Time put her on its cover that year. She retired from ABT in 2025 and has written two autobiographical books, including Life in Motion.
Misty’s popularity
Misty is a 1970s name. US Social Security data has it at 75th in the 1970s, when more than 42,300 American girls were named Misty, and 100th in the 1980s. Johnny Mathis’s 1959 hit version of the song came out just before the name’s best years.
A few more things about Misty
Erroll Garner wrote “Misty” on a plane. Wikipedia says he was flying from San Francisco to Chicago through a thunderstorm, and as the plane came down into O’Hare he saw a rainbow glowing through the haze. Johnny Mathis’s 1959 recording reached number 12, and Clint Eastwood used the song in his 1971 film Play Misty for Me. Both Garner’s and Mathis’s recordings are in the Grammy Hall of Fame.

A notebook for every Misty
Misty’s Notebook works just as well for a teenager as for a grandmother. It’s 6" x 9", which fits in most bags, with 160 lined pages and no printed layout to work around. Use it as a diary, a school notebook, a planner or a place to collect quotes and ideas. A name on the cover turns an everyday notebook into something personal.
Why choose a personalized notebook?
A plain notebook is useful. One with her name on it is a gift. Seeing “Misty’s Notebook” on the cover tells Misty it was chosen for her, not grabbed off a shelf, and that small touch is often what makes people keep a notebook going instead of abandoning it after a week.
