kewpie

/kjˈupaɪ/ noun

a small doll with a round face and a curl of hair on top of its head, often used as a prize or decoration

Word Origin Kewpie is a cute, doll-like figure, named after Cupid, the Roman god of love. Cupid comes from Latin 'cupido' 'desire,' from 'cupere' 'to desire.' So a kewpie doll is a little love-god. The same root gives us cupidity (greed, desire) and concupiscence (strong desire).
