What does Tootsie mean?
/ˈtʊtsi/2 syllables

Tootsie is an old bit of American slang for a young woman or sweetheart, and the word likely helped inspire the name of the Tootsie Roll candy, first made in the late 1800s. It later became a well-known title in its own right through the 1982 film Tootsie.

Tootsie has a playful, retro sweetness to it — an affectionate pick for a pet who's small, spirited, and impossible not to dote on.
