Looks like a US Hotel attendant. One that you are expected to tip.

That was his name in the cartoon series. It is a pun on being tipped for a service.
Other characters had similar names such as Poppy Star and Gabby Tocamera the
reporter (although she doesn't get named here, just reporter).

Good question: How does LEGO marketing come up with such names?

From the the art on the set, I might've gone with "Tipsy" instead

It's a character from city adventures.
