What does Brutus mean?
/ˈbɹutəs/2 syllables

Brutus is best known as Marcus Junius Brutus, the Roman senator who took part in the assassination of Julius Caesar in 44 BCE. Ironically, the Latin word "brutus" itself meant "heavy," "dull," or "stupid" — a rather blunt label for a man remembered for calculated political maneuvering.

Brutus has a bold, classical weight to it, a name that suits a pet with a strong, imposing build and a personality to match.
