What does Rebel mean?
/ˈɹɛb.əl/2 syllables

Rebel is a straightforward word name, taken from the English word for someone who resists authority or convention. It entered English from the Old French rebelle, ultimately from the Latin rebellare, meaning 'to wage war again.'

Rebel is a bold, spirited choice for a pet with an independent streak, the one who makes their own rules and doesn't much care what anyone thinks about it.
