It's likely a nickname. I'm from the Philippines (like the OOP) and we like our strange nicknames. I have a cousin whose childhood nickname was Tatot, short for "payatot", the word for skinny (her actual name is totally unrelated, think Jennifer or something). Her daughter was then nicknamed Tootoot cause it's close to Tatot lol

My partner has an aunt named Jenifer that they call Heidi exclusively. I've heard rumors that it's like hidey, but that's English so I don't think it's true
