Origin of peewee¹

First recorded in 1885–90; rhyming compound based on wee

And if you will not for my sake, then at least do so for the sake of Vipa (Peewee), your youngest daughter!

It always seemed to me that the peewee birds sang very dolefully after I had had my jacket warmed.

The peewee loves to place his nest under the eaves of a sheltering porch, and the phœbe is no less sociable.

He was a tiny little fellow, known affectionately among his friends as Stub, or Peewee or Pygmy.

If he had, he should have been registered, for there was only one Peewee Harris in all the wide world.
