About miffy

Miffy was 'born' in 1955. It all originated during a vacation in Egmond aan Zee. Dick Bruna, also called 'the father of miffy', told a story to his oldest son every night before bedtime. This story was about a white bunny that walked around in the garden of the vacation home. This bunny was the inspiration for miffy. Dick Bruna loves to draw and soon miffy appeared on paper. He liked a dress more than a pair of pants. That's why miffy became a girl.

At first miffy looked like a stuffed animal, with somewhat clumsy ears. From 1963, when miffy's booklets appeared, the bunny got a slightly different appearance. She became the bunny we know today. So the name miffy is derived from bunny. In other countries the original Dutch name "nijntje" can be difficult to pronounce. That's why nijntje is not called nijntje in every country. She's called miffy abroad. This name is easy for anyone to pronounce. Since 1996 nijntje has been called miffy outside the Netherlands.
