What does Fifi mean?
/ˈfifi/2 syllables

Fifi is a French pet name, most often used historically as a nickname for Josephine or Fifine. In English it's long been associated with a certain stereotype of a pampered French lapdog, thanks to its frequent use for poodles in cartoons and film.

Bright and bubbly, Fifi suits a small, spirited pet with a bit of glamour about them - a name that sounds ready for a bow and a stroll down the boulevard.
