What does Gatsby mean?
2 syllables

Gatsby is best known as Jay Gatsby, the enigmatic, lavish title character of F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby, a namesake tied to glamour, ambition, and reinvention rather than to any older word or etymology.

Gatsby suits a pet with a bit of flair and presence, one who seems to walk into a room like they own it. It's a name with old-money polish and a hint of mystery.
