What does Yogi mean?
/ˈjoʊɡi/2 syllables

Yogi is the English word for a practitioner of yoga, borrowed from the Sanskrit yogī. It's also widely recognized as the name of Yogi Bear, the cheerful, always-scheming cartoon bear from Jellystone Park, whose name plays on the word's easygoing sound.

Yogi suits a pet with a laid-back, zen streak — or, in a nod to the cartoon, one with a taste for mischief and an eye on the nearest picnic basket.
