What does Snow mean?
/snoʊ̯/1 syllable

Snow is simply the English word for the soft, white, crystalline precipitation that blankets winter landscapes. It comes from an old Germanic root shared by related words for snow across many northern European languages, and it has been used as a plain descriptive word for centuries.

As a pet name, Snow evokes a pale or white coat and a cool, quiet elegance. It suits a companion with icy-white fur or a calm, gentle presence that feels like the hush after a fresh snowfall.
