What does Maverick mean?
3 syllables

Maverick entered English as a word for an unbranded calf, and by extension anyone who refuses to conform — a sense that traces directly back to Samuel A. Maverick, a 19th-century Texas rancher famous for leaving his cattle unbranded. The word kept his independent streak long after his name became a generic term.

It's a name with swagger built in — perfect for a pet who marches to their own beat and answers to no one's expectations but their own.
