What does Comet mean?
/ˈkɒmɪt/

Comet comes from the Greek kometes, meaning "long-haired," originally describing the trailing tail of light these icy bodies leave as they streak across the sky.

Comet is a name built for speed, ideal for a pet who tears across the yard in a blur and leaves everyone else trying to catch up. It has a bright, dazzling energy to it.
