Putzlein (etymology
From my understanding, Putzlein could mean "little clean thing" considering that Putzen means "cleaning" or "decorating" in some cases. My German is not so good. Specifically, Putz means "to clean" I believe. But the thing is that Putzlien is a medieval Yiddish name and Putz means in Middle High German "lump, piece, stump”. It appears in this specific article
