What does Scarlet mean?
2 syllablesOrigin: English

Scarlet is an English word name, taken directly from the vivid red color, which entered the language in the Middle Ages from an Old French term for a richly dyed cloth. Over time the word shifted from describing the fabric to describing the color itself.

Bold and eye-catching, Scarlet suits a pet with a striking red or auburn coat, or simply one with a fiery, spirited personality. It's a name that never fades into the background.
