What does Yoda mean?
/ˈjəʊdə/

Yoda is the small, wise Jedi Master from the Star Wars films, known for his backward speech patterns, deep-set eyes, and centuries of accumulated wisdom. The name itself doesn't come from any real-world language — it was invented for the character.

Yoda works well for a pet with big ears, a wrinkled face, or an old soul kind of calm, especially one who seems to be watching and judging your every move with quiet patience.
