What does Baby mean?
/ˈbeɪ.bi/

Baby is simply the word for a very young child, used here as a straightforward term of endearment rather than a name with deeper etymology.

It's a soft, affectionate name for the pet who'll always feel like the youngest member of the family, no matter how old they get.
