What does Taz mean?
1 syllable

Taz is best known as the nickname of the Tasmanian Devil, the whirlwind cartoon character from Looney Tunes who spins, growls, and devours everything in sight. It's also used more generally as a short form of "Tasmania" or "Tasmanian."

Taz suits a pet with boundless energy and a wild streak — the one who can turn a calm room into chaos in about ten seconds flat.
