What does Biscuit mean?
/ˈbɪs.kɪt/

Biscuit is simply the word for a small baked good — in British English a crisp cookie, in American English a soft, flaky bread roll. The word traces back to the Old French "bescuit," from Latin bis coctus, literally "twice cooked," describing how the dough was originally baked a second time to dry it out for keeping.

It's a cozy, food-inspired name that suits a pet with a warm, comforting presence — the kind you want curled up nearby on a lazy morning. The soft ending gives it an easygoing, homey sound.
