What does Scrappy mean?
/ˈskɹæpi/

Scrappy comes from "scrap," originally describing something made of leftover bits and pieces, or fragmentary and lacking unity. Over time the word picked up an admiring second sense in everyday English — a scrappy competitor is one who's small or overlooked but fights hard anyway.

It's a name with built-in personality, perfect for a pet who's more determination than size — always ready to mix it up, never backing down from a challenge.
