What does Baloo mean?

Baloo is the good-natured sloth bear from Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book, best known today as the laid-back, song-loving friend of Mowgli in Disney's animated film.

It's a warm, easygoing name for a big, cuddly pet with a relaxed streak — someone who'd rather nap in the sun than worry about anything at all.
