Trixie

/ˈtrɪksi/ noun

Definition

A girl's name, often used to mean a mischievous or clever girl, or a small skateboard-like platform on wheels.

Etymology

Derived from 'tricks'—originally a nickname for girls who were clever or mischievous. It became a popular given name in the early 1900s, and later acquired other meanings in different contexts.

Kelly Says

Trixie entered English as a cute nickname meaning 'the tricky one' or 'clever girl,' reflecting how people would name girls after personality traits! It's been used for fictional characters so much (cartoons, movies) that many people think it's a made-up name, but it was real street slang for clever kids first.
