the name was born as a joke from my multilingual aunt and got deformed to hell by us not really knowing what it meant other than her vague explanation. It was most likely a longer word that got truncated into something more pronounceable in my native language, so it’s not too out of the question that it lost a lot of meaning in the process. Though “little brush” also fit well with how bristly his fur was. So he may have gotten off better than we originally intended :-P.
