What does Brooklyn mean?
/ˈbɹʊk.lən/2 syllablesOrigin: place-name transfer

Brooklyn is a place name, borrowed from the New York City borough, which itself was named after the Dutch town of Breukelen. That Dutch name traces back to a root meaning wetland or marsh, describing the low, boggy ground the original settlement sat on.

Brooklyn carries an urban, confident edge, at home on a pet with street-smart charm and easy swagger. It works well for a companion who feels equally comfortable on a city sidewalk or curled up at home.
