Lutie is a rare 19th-century American name that first appeared in Social Security records in 1880. It reached its peak popularity in 1883, though overall usage was modest. Over the following decades, the name declined rapidly and has not been recorded in the top 1000 since the early 20th century. The trajectory for Lutie is described as stable, meaning it has not seen a resurgence. No specific top states were associated with the name in the data.
Lutie emerged in the 19th century as a diminutive of names like Louisa, Lucy, or even Lula, following the popular '-ie' diminutive suffix. It was most common in the United States during the 1880s, particularly in the South. The name has seen little use after the early 20th century.
