What does London mean?
/ˈlʌn.dən/2 syllablesOrigin: place-name transfer

London is a place name transfer, taken directly from the capital city of England, whose own origins date back to Roman Britain and remain debated among historians.

It's a name with a cosmopolitan, well-traveled feel, suiting a pet with a bit of big-city polish about them. London works equally well on a sleek city dweller or a laid-back homebody with worldly taste.
