What does Flash mean?
/flæʃ/1 syllable

Flash describes a sudden, brief burst of light or motion, and the word has carried that sense of speed into pop culture through characters like the comic-book superhero the Flash, famed for outrunning everything in his path.

It's a name that promises energy before you even meet the pet wearing it — ideal for one who's quick on their feet, always first to the door, or simply a blur of motion around the house.
