What does Pixie mean?
/ˈpɪksi/2 syllables

Pixie comes from English folklore, describing a small, playful, fairy-like creature associated especially with the West Country of England. The word's deeper origin is uncertain, though it has been in use since at least the 17th century.

Pixie suits a small, quick, and mischievous pet — the kind who seems to appear and vanish at will.
