This word appears in a text message between husband and wife. (Masik my sladkij, ja ....)
Is it an abbreviation of a Russian name?

just a tender informal speech
It's not either an abbreviation or a proper name. "Masik" is just something like "Honey" or "babe". A very colloquial form of address. I suppose it comes from "масенькая" which is a colloquial word for "махонькая", "маленькая", "малышка".
