Meaning and background

The story behind Sisi

Sisi is closely associated with Empress Elisabeth of Austria, who was known by that familiar name. Vienna’s museum and tourism authorities use the spelling Sisi when discussing the historical figure. It may also occur in other nickname traditions, so the imperial reference is a supported association rather than the only possible background. The repeated light syllables make an affectionate call name.
