It’s French, hence FiFi.

With final assembly in Germany I'd think something in Deutsche would be a more fitting nickname. Fifi could apply to A330, 350 etc.

Not sure how things are now, but every A320 in my airline's fleet had final assembly in TLS. Our A321s come from XFW and BFM. Chances are when the nickname came about, the aircraft was being assembled in TLS.
