What does Mister mean?
/ˈmɪstəɹ/2 syllables

Mister is the everyday English title of respect used before a man's name, a shortened form of "master," ultimately from Latin magister.

As a pet name, Mister has an affectionate, formal-but-funny quality — a small joke about treating your companion like the man of the house. It suits a dignified pet with a serious expression and a soft heart.
