Famous Italian Cat Names and What They Mean

Here are the top five Italian cat names that are not only famous but also sound cute. Which one do you like?

famous italian cat names and what they mean

Romeo

This name’s popularity can be credited to the 1970 Disney cartoon The Aristocats. In the Italian version, the alley cat that Duchessa meets halfway through the movie is named Romeo.

Luna

Luna is a beautiful word for moon in Italian. This name is popular in cats, because like the moon, cats are mysterious, lovely, and nocturnal.

Leo

What comes to mind when you hear the name — Leo? A lion, of course. And what better namesake for a courageous, independent tomcat than his fierce feline relative?

Chicca/Chicco

Chicco in Italian means bean or grain, while the feminine Chicca means tidbit or rarity. Both sound catchy and cute, what do you think?

Micio/Micia

Another cute pair of Italian names for male and female cats. Micio and Micia are sweet-sounding synonyms for gatto (male cat) and gatta (female cat), kind of like the term of endearment — kitty in the English language.
