What does Yorkie mean?
/ˈjɔɹki/

Yorkie is the familiar nickname for the Yorkshire terrier, a small toy breed that takes its name from Yorkshire, the English county where it was developed in the 19th century by mill workers looking for a scrappy ratter.

As a name it's a natural, affectionate label for a small, spirited dog — though its terrier-tough undertone works just as well as a nod to a big personality in a little body.
