aming your one-of-a-kind feline is both enjoyable and essential when it comes to pet ownership. Cat names can take their inspiration from nature, history and pop culture – these sources should provide plenty of options!
Leo, Latin for “lion”, would make an appropriate moniker for cats that feature both solid colors and stripes, or you could opt for Tiger as a tribute to your cat’s wild cousins.
Leonidas
Leonidas is an ancient Greek warrior renowned for his bravery during the Battle of Thermopylae. This name often symbolizes strength and courage – making Leonidas an attractive choice for parents wishing for their sons to possess similar traits.
This name derives from two Greek words – leon and idas – meaning lion and son respectively. People with this name are believed to possess strong, courageous characteristics similar to that of a lion, which makes them stand up for what they believe in and stand firm against any challenges to their beliefs.
This popular girl’s name exudes cool vibes and was once used as an informal term for “OK.” Additionally, Macavity can be found in Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes stories as his arch-nemesis; similarly a similar character, Macavity, inspired T.S. Eliot to create Macavity the cat from Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats by T.S. Eliot; people with this name tend to be resourceful and cunning individuals!
Koko
Name your feline from nature, history or pop culture! There is so much inspiration out there when selecting an appropriate name for them.
Koko is the name of a western lowland gorilla who became part of one of the most well-known experiments ever: teaching another animal sign language. She now stars in her own TV show and enjoys an impressive following online.
Fans of HBO’s hit series The Walking Dead may recognize Binx from this show. His name, Binx, is an inference that his ability to see in darkness makes an appearance.
Name your cat after his or her color with this unisex moniker that’s sure to make them feel elegant! Ebony wood sounds sophisticated and strong for felines alike – making the name even more fitting of them.
Jasmine
Popular as a name for girl cats with yellow or orange eyes, this moniker also works beautifully well for black and white cats!
This feminine name hails from Persian origins and entered English via Old French. Jasmine plants symbolize deep love, purity and motherhood while its sweet fragrance makes them a symbol of affection and enchantment. Jasmine became widely popular after Disney released their 1992 adaptation of Aladdin featuring Princess Jasmine – it has also gained prominence across Brazil, Israel, Hungary and Belgium; variations include Yasmine, Jazmin and Jessamine.
For your tiny kitten, why not consider calling them Wyoming? Or for something truly original, go with Latin for “apple”, which would better reflect her playful character. Shorten this name even more to create playful nicknames! Honor nature and culture both at once!
Bianca
Cats are loved around the world, but nowhere as much as in Ancient Egypt where mummified cats have been discovered at archeological sites and worshiped as gods like Bastet who looked like a cat were known for protecting families and pregnant women – making this name perfect for a loyal feline friend!
Individuals who go by this name display grace, elegance, and beauty – qualities which perfectly describe your beloved cat! Additionally, these individuals tend to be creative thinkers with strong willpower who possess an uncanny knack for making others feel at ease around them.
As either a whimsical nickname for this Western state or in honor of one of America’s illustrious first ladies, this unique name may appeal to cat parents everywhere. Additionally, its Latin roots create an “ee” sound – widely accepted as ideal call for felines by experts.
