2. They could also refer to spirits like ghosts, and elves, dwarves, and pixies.

4. It is also the name of an operating system developed at the University of California, Berkeley.
5. A spayed jill (or female ferret) is called a sprite.
6. Sprites are certain types of characters in the cartoon Rainbow Brite.
7. Many more actually! Why don't you go over to Wikipedia to learn about all sorts of Sprites.
