What does Scarlett mean?
2 syllablesOrigin: a surname

Scarlett began as an English surname before becoming a first name, and it shares its spelling with the word for a vivid, brilliant shade of red. The color name itself comes from a luxurious medieval woolen cloth that was often dyed red, which is how "scarlet" came to describe the color rather than the fabric.

Scarlett has a bold, glamorous energy — a striking choice for a pet with a fiery coat, a fiery temperament, or simply a flair for making an entrance.
