What does Blaze mean?
1 syllableOrigin: Latin

Blaze is a word name for a bright, intense fire, tracing back through Old English "blæse," meaning torch or flame. It also names the streak of white marking down the center of a horse's face, a sense that has long made it a favorite for animals with a bold splash of color.

Blaze has energy built right into it — a name for a pet with a fiery, attention-grabbing presence, whether that shows up as fearless confidence or a bright coat that catches the eye.
