Origin of Mittie Root.
Many people have asked why Mittie Root? What’s the meaning behind the name Mittie Root? Here are a few reasons why.
-
1. I couldn’t find anyone with the name Mittie Root.
2. I wanted a name that was somewhat fun and catchy.
3. I wanted something that had actual meaning to me.
4. I wanted to be close to Raffi (children’s music legend) on the bookshelves.
“Mittie” is short for Martha (i.e. Mittie Roosevelt). Martha is Aramaic for “lady”. The definition of root is a part of the body of a plant that develops, typically, from the radicle and grows downward into the soil, anchoring the plant and absorbing nutriment and moisture.
Mittie Root to me means a lady who grows downward into the soil and is securely anchored. I strongly desire to be a woman with depth and richness (not wealth, but character). And just as roots grow over time, so I hope to be. Slow and steady. Strong and unyielding.

Cindy (aka Mittie): I love your CD! I bet I listen to it almost every day. I especially like Till the Cows Come Home and the one about Traci. I hope you’re well and have a fantastic Christmas. Take good care and tell your hubby hi for me. Keep up the good work. HO HO HO!
