What does Cinnamon mean?
3 syllables

Cinnamon takes its name directly from the spice, made from the dried inner bark of trees in the Cinnamomum genus native to South and Southeast Asia. The English word arrived via Latin and Greek from an older Semitic source, tracing the ancient trade routes that carried the spice westward.

Warm, spicy, and a little sweet, Cinnamon suits a pet with a reddish-brown coat and an equally warm personality.
