What does Moe mean?
/moʊ/1 syllableOrigin: Japanese

Moe most often started life as a nickname, short for names like Maurice, Morris, or Moses. Separately, it's also a Japanese word, moe, used to describe a strong, affectionate fondness for a character or thing.

Short and easy on the tongue, Moe fits a pet with an old-soul warmth — the kind of name that feels instantly familiar.
