A word for "toy" in french is "Joujou", so I the name for the Yo-yo has to come from there. Just imagine french people looking at the Yo-yo thinking "Ah, it is a toy. A Joujou", and so they must have start calling it Joujou, and the name must have sticked around.

Ooh, fun facts! Did you know that corgis have a long (and entertaining) folklore surrounding them. It's surprisingly involved too: Welsh legend states that the fairies and elves of Wales used Pembroke Welsh Corgis to pull their fairy coaches, work fairy cattle, and serve as noble steeds for their fairy soldiers in times of war, because, and I quote, 'they were quick enough to attack, but also sturdy enough to withstand magical firepower.'

During a bloody battle between the Tylwyth Teg and the Gwyllion fairy tribes, two notable Tylwyth Teg fairies fell in battle and were thus given a grand funeral. During that funeral, two kids playing in the forest chanced upon the ceremony and, overwhelmed by emotion, the Tylwyth Teg tribesmen offered the kids their fallen's valiant steeds. The kids took the two dogs home and thus explains the celebrated Welsh Pembroke Corgi's existence among mortal men. Pembroke corgi coats allegedly still bear the markings of 'fairy saddles' over their shoulders reminding us all that, according to folklore, they can be used as magical meatshields against fairies.

...I'm sorry, I cannot get over the fact that, according to corgi lore, Pembrokes canonically have magic resistance.
