Elvis bring up to his female parent by the pet name Satnin , a name that those close to the Presleys disagree about the significance of ( viaDistractify ) . Butler , and Jacob Elordi inPriscilla , cite to their mother almost only as Satnin in both pic . June Juanico , an early girl of Elvis ' , who was also dub " Satnin " , said the name came from a vocal his mother used to sing Elvis when he was little , suppose Presley once tell her ,
" [ His mother ] used to sing to me when I was niggling . You commemorate the song , ' Mammy ’s Little Baby Loves Shortnin ' lolly ' ? Well , she used to sing ' mama ’s little babe has satnin skin . ' You know , June , tegument soft as satin . "
In June ’s interlingual rendition , the name is a purposeful misspelling of " satin " to fit the rhyme scheme of the song , which makes for a cute and easy - to - think of nickname as well . Elvis ' cousin Billy Smith tells the story otherwise and pronounce that it began as a tease moniker for Gladys , who he considered " always toilsome " . Billy said that when Elvis used the nickname he would touch Gladys ' breadbasket and say ,
" Baby ’s going to bring you something to eat , Satnin . "
Billy said " Satnin " was an lengthiness of the word " shortening " , a fattening food .
