Wouldn't it mean something like "lucky birth" (perhaps referring to immaculate conception)?

The atheist in my life doesn't need anything for the holidays under the guise of some fake one.<br>

For a long time I thought it had to do with Felix the Cat, one of my favorite cartoon animals, but being here in San Antonio surrounded by military personnel I see that it's somehow related to Fearless Dads in the Navy, most of them apparently Hispanic or black.<br>
