What does Reese mean?
/ɹis/1 syllableOrigin: a surname

Reese is an anglicized form of the Welsh name Rhys, generally translated as "ardor" or "enthusiasm." It was borne by several medieval Welsh princes and rulers before becoming a common surname and, later, a first name.

Reese is crisp and modern-sounding despite its old roots, fitting for a pet with a spirited, energetic streak.
