"Xiao" (霄) in Xiao Lantern means sky. It's a different character as the one used for Xiao (the character)

Could also mean "small" or "little"

that is a completely different word.

Xiao is also very short so it makes sense.

? Xiao’s name means demon or spirit

Soooo, according to the other comments "little Xiao in the sky" would be something like "xiao Xiao xiao"? 😏

Xiao 霄 specifically refers to a layer of clouds in the sky. It’s sometimes poetically used as another name for the sky. In particular, “Nine xiao” 九霄 is often used to mean Ninth Tian (jiutian 九天), the layers of barriers needed to reach Chinese “heaven” or Tian, where the Xian (adeptus) lives .
