What does Gypsy mean?
/ˈd͡ʒɪp.si/2 syllables

Gypsy traces back to "Egipcian," an old English spelling of "Egyptian" — a name given to the Romani people in medieval England, based on the mistaken belief that they had originally come from Egypt. Over centuries the word settled into general English usage as a term for a wandering, unconventional way of life.

As a pet name, Gypsy has become shorthand for a free spirit — a companion who's curious, independent, and always ready for the next adventure.
