What does Felix mean?
/ˈfiːlɪks/2 syllablesOrigin: Latin

Felix comes directly from the Latin word felix, meaning "happy" or "lucky," and was a popular Roman name carried by several early saints and emperors. It's also famously the name of the classic black-and-white cartoon cat, Felix the Cat.

Felix has a bright, spry energy — a fitting name for a companion who seems to land on their feet, lucky and good-humored through anything.
