What does Halo mean?
2 syllables

Halo describes the ring of light that can appear around the sun or moon, and in wider use it evokes the glowing circle depicted above the heads of angels and saints in religious art and folklore.

It's a name that suggests something bright, pure, and a little celestial — fitting for a pet with an angelic face, a pale coat, or a habit of looking perfectly innocent no matter what they've gotten into.
