What does Mouse mean?
/maʊs/

Mouse is a straightforward English word name, referring to the small, long-tailed rodent, a word that goes back through Old English mus to a very old root shared with the Latin mus and Greek mys.

Given ironically or affectionately, Mouse suits a small, quiet, or quick-moving pet -- one who seems to slip in and out of rooms unnoticed, or who's simply tiny and endearing.
