What does Gidget mean?
2 syllables

Gidget began as 1950s American slang, a blend of "girl" and "midget," popularized by the 1957 novel and the later film and TV series about a spirited, petite teenage surfer.

It's a spunky, energetic name that suits a small pet with an outsized personality — someone who makes up for their size in sheer enthusiasm.
