What does Juniper mean?
3 syllablesOrigin: English

Juniper is a plant name, borrowed directly from the coniferous shrub known for its small, aromatic blue-purple berries. Those berries are the defining flavor in gin, and the word itself traces back to the Latin "iuniperus."

Juniper has a crisp, woodsy sound with a soft landing, fitting for a pet who feels equally at home curled up indoors or roaming outside. It reads as fresh and a little unexpected.
