What does Blu mean?
1 syllable

Blu is a stylized spelling of the color blue, the word English inherited from Old French bleu, which in turn came from a Germanic root shared with words for pale or shining. Trimming the 'e' gives it a sleeker, more modern look while keeping the sound intact.

It's a cool, simple name that works beautifully for a pet with striking blue-gray eyes or a silvery-blue coat. Blu feels calm and a little sleek — understated rather than flashy.
