What does Khaleesi mean?
/kəˈliː.si/3 syllablesOrigin: modern coinage and constructed languages

Khaleesi isn't a word with ancient roots -- it was coined for the world of George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire and its TV adaptation Game of Thrones, where it's the title given to the wife of a Dothraki khal, translating roughly to 'queen.' Since the show's debut, it has crossed over from invented language into everyday use as a given name.

It's a name with built-in swagger, perfect for a pet who carries themselves like they own the place. Regal, a little exotic-sounding, and instantly recognizable, it suits a confident, commanding presence.
