丫头 literally means “Y shaped head” and is used to refer to little girls. This is because in the ancient times, the little girls used to wear two plaits with one on each side of their heads and thus made their heads looked like an upside down Y.

傻丫头 can be translated as “silly girl” which means funny and cute girls and is an affectionate form of address to the little girls by their parents, aunties and uncles.

对，傻丫头的意思是 stupid girl. 丫也有其他的不好的意思。 在北京话比方说 `(ni3)丫想干什么`有不好的意思。
还有 `我抽(ni3) Y的` 就是 ‘我要打你的脸’的意思。（ni3 = 你。 n词酷不让我打）

丫头是女孩儿的意思，丫的意思是分叉，以前的女孩儿的发型是有两个辫子所以叫丫头。
傻丫头 就是  Stupid girl.
