What does Django mean?
2 syllables

Django is a Romani name most often translated as "I awake." It's inseparable from jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt, born Jean Reinhardt — Jean being a French form of John, ultimately from the Hebrew Yohanan, meaning "God is gracious."

It carries a cool, musical swagger, fitting for a pet with a confident stride and a bit of showman's flair — a name that sounds just as good shouted across a park as it does on a stage.
