What does Indy mean?
2 syllables

Indy most often functions as a short, punchy form of "Indiana," or stands on its own as a clipped form of "independent" — as in "indie" music or film. It's also closely tied to the adventurer Indiana Jones, whose nickname is Indy.

Bold and adventurous-sounding, Indy suits a pet with a confident, go-anywhere attitude, always ready for the next expedition.
