What does Mowgli mean?
2 syllables

Mowgli is the name of the boy raised by wolves in Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book, a story later popularized further by Disney's animated adaptation. In the tales, Mowgli grows up under the guidance of animal companions like Baloo the bear and Bagheera the panther.

It's a wild, adventurous name, perfect for a pet who seems most at home exploring the outdoors.
