A magpie, especially used in South African English; can also refer to a person's name.
From Afrikaans 'piet', which comes from the magpie's call and habits. The name became associated with the bird's distinctive black-and-white coloring and vocal nature.
Magpies are known for stealing shiny objects, which is why in some cultures they're blamed for mischief—and the Afrikaans word 'piet' is literally imitative of the bird's loud, harsh call!
