What does Chilli mean?

Chilli is the British spelling of chili, the spicy pepper whose name comes from chilli in Nahuatl, the language of the Aztecs, by way of Spanish.

Small, hot, and full of personality, Chilli suits a companion with energy to burn and a bit of a fiery streak. It's a playful name for a pet who keeps things lively.
