What does Buzz mean?
1 syllable

Buzz describes a low humming sound, like that of a bee or a busy room, and as a name it also carries a strong pop-culture association with Buzz Lightyear, the space ranger from Toy Story, whose own name honors astronaut Buzz Aldrin.

It has an upbeat, energetic ring — great for a pet who's constantly on the move and always seems to have somewhere exciting to be.
