What does Junior mean?
3 syllables

Junior comes from the Latin "iunior," the comparative form of "iuvenis," meaning "young." In English it's traditionally placed after a name to denote the younger of two people who share it, often a son named for his father.

Junior has an easy, affectionate ring to it, often given to the smaller or younger pet in a household — a name that carries a bit of family tradition.
