There have been several threads about this name. It seems that there can be no definite answer, - each case is different. My aunt Minnie was named after her mother. For each of them it was their full given name.

Can be a name in its own right, or can be short for Mary or Wilhelmina. There is a Minna in my tree who was Minnie for short. Kate.
