Not sure about the spelling, but I know it's Spanish. My grandmother used to call me that, and I can't find a translation anywhere. Any ideas?

Yes, as stated above, it means "my little girl". (Actually, hearing this beautiful expression was what made me want to learn Spanish!!)
You might think it's only to be addressed to a child, but I've heard husbands call their wives the similar expression "m'ija".

It is a combination of two words: mi hijita. Mi=my. Hija=daughter/female child. When you add "ita" to the end it just means "little". So she's calling you "my little (female) child".

it is diminutive of daughter
so, it would be my little daughter/mi little girl

Ronin's right, except it's "my little (or dear) daughter."
