PSA: "wix" is how you pronounce the German word for "wank". Try to suggest your client to set up a "wank site"... Beautifully demonstrates the importance of checking your brand name in other languages.
My other favorite is MongoDB which in German literally means RetardDB. (Sorry for the slur, but that's what it is.)
Mongo in (British? West country which happens to retain relatively more Saxonism and other Germanic influence?) English too actually, or more often 'mong', but it's not prevalent enough that I've made the link before.

In German it's the only possible meaning, unfortunately... ("Mongo" is short for "mongoloid")
I'm not aware of any other meaning in English either.
