Spanish is a beautiful language spoken by over 500 million people worldwide. Whether you speak Spanish or not, it’s a language that anyone can enjoy for its musical tone and elegance. Giving your cat a Spanish name can fit your cat’s personality but can also be challenging if you aren’t familiar with the language.
To help you choose the perfect Spanish name for your cat, here’s a list of 150 of our favorite names with their meanings included.
How to Name Your Cat
Naming your cat can be intimidating no matter what, but adding in the factor of a language you may not speak can make it even harder on you. Start by identifying some of the characteristics you like the most about your cat. Maybe there’s something specific about your cat’s appearance or personality that you feel would help narrow the field for a fitting name?
The options are as endless as the words in the Spanish language, so start by trying to narrow things down to 10–20 characteristics you like the most about your cat and work outward from there.
