What does Kitty mean?
/ˈkɪti/2 syllables

Kitty is the familiar, affectionate English word for a cat, especially a young one, used since at least the 17th century. It's also a traditional pet form of Katherine, a name often linked to the Greek word katharos, meaning "pure," though scholars have long debated its exact origin.

Kitty is warm, cozy, and instantly recognizable — an easy, well-loved name for a small, affectionate cat with a sweet, cuddly nature.
