What does Copper mean?
/ˈkɑpəɹ/2 syllables

Copper is named directly after the reddish-brown metal, one of the first metals humans learned to work with. The word traces back to Cyprus, the Mediterranean island the Romans associated with the metal's mining — aes Cyprium, "metal of Cyprus," later shortened to cuprum.

Warm and earthy, it suits a pet with a reddish coat or copper-colored eyes. It has a sturdy, outdoorsy feel.
