What does Patch mean?
/pæt͡ʃ/1 syllable

Patch comes from the English word for a small piece of material used to cover or repair a hole or tear, often given to pets with a distinctive spot of color in their coat.

Patch is a cozy, homespun name with a built-in story, evoking something well-loved and a little imperfect in the best way. It suits a pet with a memorable marking and an equally memorable personality.
