Pet Names by Language

Each page here holds names for a pet in one language. Most names are real words of that language: foods, weather, animals, colors, and a few fond words.

Some pages add short forms of given names or figures of myth. On each page, press the button for a name. A word comes in its own letters, with a Latin spelling where the language is written in another script, and with the meaning its dictionary entry gives. Each list was checked card by card against a named dictionary or reference, and each page says which one. No speaker of the language has read the lists. For a name in English, use the random pet name generator.
