What does Honey mean?
/ˈhʌni/2 syllables

Honey is a word name, taken directly from the sweet, golden fluid that bees make from flower nectar. Honey has been prized since antiquity as a sweetener and preservative, and its rich amber color has long made it a natural way to describe warm, golden coloring.

As a name, Honey suggests something equally sweet-natured and warm. It suits a companion with a gentle, affectionate temperament, especially one with a golden or amber coat.
