What does Momo mean?
2 syllablesOrigin: Japanese

Momo is the Japanese word for "peach," a fruit long associated in Japanese folklore with good fortune and vitality, most famously in the tale of Momotaro, the "Peach Boy." In some Arabic-speaking communities, Momo is also used informally as an affectionate nickname for Mohammed.

Playful and easy to say twice, it's a name with a soft, sweet sound that suits a pet with a gentle, cheerful disposition. It feels equally at home on a small, round-faced companion as on one who's just endlessly good-natured.
